Designed for you
Our deck-building process in Canberra
In order to keep you in the loop, we’ve mapped out our process of building your deck. When following these simple steps, you’ll be well on your way to getting the deck of your dreams.
-
- Design consultation: We start off the process of building your deck with a free initial design consultation. One of our friendly design consultants will visit your home to scope out the area and help design the ideal structure for your area. This consultation usually lasts up to two hours, but it really depends on your specific requirements.
- Design & quote: Next up, your Design Consultant will design your perfect deck area suited to your lifestyle. During this step, the design consultants will also ensure measurements are correct, and all the right products are chosen for the job. Once you’re happy with the final designs, you’ll also get your free quote.
- Check measure: Our building supervisor will then visit the site to ensure all measurements and colours are correct before ordering all the necessary decking material.
- Council application: With Check Measure done, it’s time to move on to applying for council approval. There’s no need to stress about documentation because we will handle the whole application process on your behalf. This is an important step, as getting council approval ensures the relevant building surveyor has approved your plans and documentation for your new structure so it complies with the legal standard.
- Manufacture & delivery: When council approval for your deck is received, we move on to manufacturing your deck and deliver it straight to your home unless other instructions are given by our building supervisor.
- Installation: Then, for the part where everything finally comes together – installation! After all the approvals are received, it’s time to schedule your installation with our next available builder in your area.
Building made easy
Why choose Apollo to build your new deck?
For anyone looking to build a quality deck, we’d say the most important thing to keep in mind is not to settle for any average deck builder, as this will impact the quality of the deck you get. You want something that is specifically built for Australia’s climate conditions. Here are a few reasons you should choose Apollo.

Feeling like your decks are missing something? Maybe it’s a roof? We offer clients the option to customise their deck even further by adding overhead protection with a patio or pergola. We’ll build you an amazing deck and seamlessly combine it with the function and aesthetically pleasing look of a patio or pergola.
By cleverly combining your deck with a patio or pergola, you’re providing your outside area with overhead protection. while at the same time elevating your outdoor living space, making it more comfortable, versatile, and convenient.
Every one of our designs, whether a patio, deck or pergola, is designed to last. Our design and construction teams are meticulous and always aim to build to a high standard. That’s why we offer our clients a 15-year material warranty on all Durasheen paint coat finishes, and we know that our products are built well.
While patios and pergolas add a unique feel to your deck, they aren’t for everyone. For those who just want a simple roof or have a design in mind, all our decks are compatible with any Apollo Patios roof style, so just take your pick.

What they say
Satisfied Customers
Apollo Patios has given us a wonderful experience and the finished result is far better than we imagined. Sitting out on our deck has become a regular morning and evening routine. We love our pancake Saturdays giving us quality family time. My wife and I also really enjoy watching the stunning sunsets which has really helped us both destress after a busy work day. Thank you Apollo Patios for helping us transform our house into the family home we’ve been dreaming of.
This is our third renovation now and each time we’ve worked with Apollo Patios to resolve dark, hot and fairly uninviting patio spaces. The consultation from start to finish is always seamless. Apollo Patios always have that ‘wow factor’, the quality is excellent and they’ve delivered everything we never had before – unbelievably functional spaces with raised roofs that are well ventilated and cool. We’ve got grandkids and it’s such an inviting area to bring everyone together. It’s given us more space in our house to use every day. If you’re sitting on the fence, pick up the phone and give Apollo a call.
