Decks, Pergolas
& Doors Sydney
Extend your living space outdoors. Timber decks, pergolas, and door installations built to complement your home and handle Australian conditions.
Outdoor Carpentry Built for Sydney
A well-built deck or pergola adds usable square metres to your home, creates an inviting outdoor entertaining area, and adds genuine value to your property. But outdoor carpentry has to withstand intense UV, heavy rain, and heat cycling — which means material selection and construction quality matter enormously.
At Shmix, we build outdoor structures that are designed to last. We select timber species appropriate for the exposure, use correctly rated fixings, and size structural members to handle the loads. Whether it is a ground-level deck, a raised entertaining platform, or a full pergola with a roofed structure, we approach every project with the same craftsmanship that goes into our structural work.

Why Choose Shmix for Outdoor Carpentry
We have built decks and pergolas across Sydney — from inner-city terrace backyards to large suburban blocks in the Hills District and Northern Beaches. We understand the local council rules, know which timber species perform best in each exposure condition, and work efficiently to minimise disruption to your household.
For door installations, precision is everything — a poorly hung door binds, rattles, and lets in draughts. Our carpenters take the time to get doors plumb and level, adjust hinges and locks properly, and ensure the finished result operates as it should for years to come.

Common Questions
Do I need council approval to build a deck or pergola in Sydney?
It depends on the size and height. Many decks and pergolas under 25 square metres and within specific height limits qualify as exempt development in NSW, requiring no approval. Larger structures typically require a Complying Development Certificate or Development Application. We can guide you on what applies to your project.
What timber do you use for decks?
We typically use hardwood species such as Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, or Merbau for their durability and appearance in the Australian climate. We can also work with treated pine for more budget-conscious projects, or composite decking if you prefer a low-maintenance alternative.
Can you install new doors in an existing frame?
Yes. We can hang new doors into existing frames, replace frames and doors together, or source and install complete door sets. We work with standard and custom-sized openings and ensure all hardware aligns and operates smoothly.
