Deck Extensions
Deck Extensions in Hobart
More space, matched so closely to what you've already got that nobody can tell where the old deck ends and the new one starts.
Matched, not mismatched
Same height, same line, same finish
The failure mode on most deck extensions is a visible seam — a slightly different board width, a step where the levels don’t quite meet, screws in a different pattern. Ryan measures off the existing deck before ordering anything, so the extension sits at the same height and runs the same line as what’s already there.
If your household has grown, you’ve added an outdoor kitchen, or the current deck is just too small for how you actually entertain, an extension is usually far cheaper than starting again with a full new build.
It’s also a good time to reconsider shade and weather cover — a lot of clients add a pergola or verandah over the new section while the deck’s already being worked on.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can you match new decking to an existing deck?
- Yes, that’s the whole point of an extension job. Ryan matches the board profile, height and where possible the timber or composite species so the join between old and new isn’t obvious.
- What if my existing decking is no longer available?
- It happens, especially with composite ranges that get discontinued. Ryan will find the closest current match and talk you through the options honestly rather than pretending an obvious mismatch isn’t one.
- Do I need council approval to extend my deck?
- It depends on the extra size, height and how close the extension gets to a boundary. Ryan checks this at the site visit and handles or arranges approvals where they’re needed.
