Elevated Spotted Gum Decking in Little Mountain, Sunshine Coast

Little Mountain Elevated Deck — Spotted Gum Hardwood

There's a reason spotted gum has been the go-to for Australian decks for generations. Nothing else quite matches it — that warm honey tone, the tight grain, the sheer hardness underfoot. This elevated deck in Little Mountain is a great example of what's possible when quality timber meets quality workmanship.

A Deck Built to Last

Spotted gum is one of the toughest native hardwoods available. Naturally resistant to termites, rot, and harsh weather, it handles the Queensland climate without complaint — and unlike composite or pine, it actually improves with age. Oil it regularly and this deck will look better in ten years than it does today.

Getting the Structure Right

Elevated decks live or die on what's underneath. Before a single board went down, we made sure the footings, bearers, and framing were engineered for the long term. The wide wraparound layout demanded careful planning — this isn't a small platform bolted to a back door, it's a proper outdoor living space designed to handle years of use.

The Finished Space

The covered roof means it's usable all year round, the white balustrade and dark hardwood posts give it a timeless Queensland character, and the open layout is genuinely generous — room to entertain, relax, and actually enjoy being outside.

Even shot at night, the quality speaks for itself. Tight boards, clean lines, consistent spacing from end to end. That's the standard we hold ourselves to on every job.
