Decks & Pergolas

An outdoor room is only successful if it gets used. We design decks and pergolas around orientation, shelter, sightlines and the way you actually entertain.

ALCO decks & pergolas — recent project across Franklin and Auckland

About this service

Tell us how you want to live and we'll translate it into a structure. We build decks and pergolas from a range of timbers, composites and finishes, matched to the architecture of the existing home so nothing reads as bolted-on. Across Pukekohe and the wider Auckland region we've built everything from a tight courtyard deck to a full alfresco programme with shade and screening.

Frequently asked

Common questions about decks & pergolas.

Timber or composite for a New Zealand deck?
Hardwood timbers like kwila or vitex weather to a beautiful silver-grey and last 25+ years if oiled annually. Composite is lower-maintenance, holds colour, and suits busy households or coastal sites where salt spray hammers timber. We'll talk through the trade-offs before specifying.
Do you do deck refurbishment?
Yes — we replace boards, re-fix structural joists, rebuild stairs and re-finish surfaces. If the substructure is sound, refurbishment can extend a deck's life by another 10–15 years for a fraction of a rebuild.
How do pergolas work in Pukekohe weather?
We design pergolas with the right orientation for shelter against westerlies and the right shade for our high summer sun. Slatted timber, retractable shades and louvre roofs all work well — the choice depends on how much you want to use the space in winter.
