Deck builders in Inner West— see your deck before you build it
Inner West yards are compact — terrace courtyards and federation semis where a 15–25m² deck has to work hard. Access through the house is the big cost variable: materials often come through the hallway. Clever multi-level and built-in-seating designs make small footprints feel bigger, and merbau remains the go-to for its value.
