Decking, Carports and Pergolas
Decks, pergolas and outdoor rooms are the perfect way to enliven an outdoor living space. We are a nation in love with the outdoors. Decks, gardens, patios and porches allow us to entertain the family, have a quiet moment for your own peace of mind and enjoy the sun and fresh air in a comfortable extension of our living space.
Do you need a consent from the council?
A building consent is not required for works on decks where it is not possible to fall more than 1.5 metres. However, a safety barrier is still required under the Building Code clause F4-Safety from falling where there is a fall of 1 metre more.
Always check with your local council to ensure the proposed building work does not have any district planning implications, such as maximum site coverage, yard or setback requirements, daylight access planes and permitted activities. A resource consent may be required and it is important that you obtain this before starting any building work.
Do decks and pergolas add value to the house?
Yes! Buyers will be willing to pay top dollar for homes that have attractive, well designed outdoor living space.
While decks and pergolas have been a popular choice for years when it comes to outdoor spaces, the way you join indoors and outdoors is really limited only by your imagination.
Outdoor kitchens have become popular lately as well as winter garden that flows directly out of the bedroom to create a peaceful, meditative atmosphere. Outdoor beds are also popular-these can be created through raised deck areas that are located in a sheltered space. Its is also possible to create garden seats around the edge of raised garden beds-add waterproof cushions that matches the color of the interior to make a visual link between inside and out.
