    Don’t believe what companies post on their sites.
    I got an actual quote for an aluminium frame, drawn up by them and with freight, it’s about $1400 dearer than timber


    Another question for those who build decks or have built decks.
    136 x 19 or 85x19 spotted gum.?
    A few searches show that 136x19 timber (spotted gum, Merbau, blackbutt) is prone to cupping and I can’t afford 136x32 as suggested.
    So, should I just go with 85x19?
    BTW, whatever I use will have two coats bottom side before fixing.

    Go with the 4”, the cost differential is massive. The 6” does cup a bit in exposed areas.
