About trex decking
Trex is on five of our composite jobs.
In Birchgrove we used Trex boards for an upper balcony deck, to clad an external stair and to build an L-shaped bench on the rooftop terrace. Using one board for the deck, the stair and the bench ties the levels together.
In Bellevue Hill we built a curved Trex deck with wide steps and planter boxes. A curve in composite takes extra framing and careful cutting at the edge, and the fascia has to follow the same line.
In Sandringham and Botany we built Trex decks with Deckmasters Sydney: a grey deck and wide steps at a two-storey house, and a raised deck under an existing roof with two sets of steps. In North Ryde a small Trex deck fits a tight courtyard.
Trex boards have a hard outer shell over a composite core. They resist stains and fading better than bare timber and never need oiling. Like other composites, they come with their own clips and installation guide, which sets the joist spacing and gaps, so we build the frame to suit.
We're a TrexPro® partner: Trex Australia lists Timbaland Carpentry in its builder directory as a TrexPro contractor, a partner since 2024.

Before we price it
What to think about with Trex
Joist spacing
Trex boards need joists closer together than many older timber decks have. An existing frame often needs extra joists before it can take them.
Heat
Darker colours get hot in direct sun. On a sunny terrace or beside a pool, stand on a board in the sun before choosing.
Expansion gaps
Composite boards grow and shrink with temperature, so the end gaps are set to the Trex guide for the conditions on the day.
Height and access
Upper balconies and rooftops mean carrying boards up stairs and working at height, which affects how long the job takes.

“The boys nailed it! Built my deck out of engineered timber and the quality of work was fantastic. Job was done quick, site was left clean, etc. Would recommend!”
Is Trex better than other composite brands?
It is one good option among several. Trex, NewTechWood, Eva Last and other brands differ in colour, surface texture, clip system and cost. We can show you boards and photos of our jobs in each, and help you compare.
Can Trex go on a balcony or rooftop?
Often, yes. The frame has to sit over the waterproofing without damaging it and leave a clear path for water to drain. On our Birchgrove job, both the balcony and the rooftop terrace were finished in Trex.
Can a Trex deck be curved?
Yes. The boards and fascia can follow a curved edge with extra framing and careful cutting, as on our Bellevue Hill deck.
Does Trex fade?
All decking changes a little in strong sun, but capped boards like Trex hold their colour far better than bare timber. Regular washing keeps the surface looking even.
