Curved timber decking and screen

Austin developments are Perth premier timber decking and screen artisans, specialising in more challenging architectural designs.

This particular curve decking and screening was a design the client came up with which sees the transition of the painted timber decking roll up into the timber screen which has a water feature recessed into it , that flows down to the coy pond below.

Making any square product bend , curve , round is always a challenge and has been successfully executed here to finish this project we called the “Skatey Ramp”.

Painting the timbers an off white colour confuses the eye on whether the materials used are timber or fabricated steel, and lends itself to the desired clients theme and taste.

The sharp curves on this timber decking made it especially challenging

Some timber decks involve large square or rectangular areas spanning a single level. Other timber deckings involve multiple levels, difficult onstacles and intricate patterns or curves. Whatever the challenge in your timber decking project, the team from Austin Developments are among Perth’s most experienced specialised timber decking design and construction professionals.

The curved pool on this particular job posed several problems , not only was it curved but the tightness of the curve over a short distance was extremely difficult for the installers / carpenters. Each timber decking board had to be cut on 3 sides making it an extremely time consuming and tedious job taking twice as long to finish compare to normal.

The attention to detail on the curve decking not only is a feature itself but creates a soft transition between the pool and the large entertaining sun deck.

Other obstacles this job posed like any pool decking is the pool plumbing around the perimeter , this means the trades all have to take extra care when digging and installing concrete footings to support the deck.

Sometimes initiative on the tradesmans behalf is more important than the actual designer , as most hurdles and problems are all spontaneous last minute issues that the tradesman have to combat to fore fill a design that ultimately will impact the projects final result.

Professional tradespeople can turn your more difficult decking designs into works of art
