Want to make more room outdoors? At Romeo’s Patio Canberra, we create and build custom timber and composite decks. They provide you with a great space to relax, have fun, and enjoy the outdoors without leaving home. Whether you need a small landing deck, a big wraparound deck for parties, or a raised deck that connects to your living room, we make every deck fit your home and lifestyle.
With more than 10 years of local experience, we know Canberra’s special conditions. We deal with hot summers and cold winters. That’s why we build decks that will last. We use good materials and focus on every detail. We also keep you updated from the first measurement to the final cleaning.
Timber adds warmth and charm to any outdoor space. We use top-quality, sustainable hardwoods like Merbau, Spotted Gum, and Blackbutt. These woods are known for their strength and ability to handle Canberra’s weather. If you want a natural oiled style or a stained finish to fit your home, we will ensure it looks wonderful and lasts well over time.
Composite decking is easy to care for and lasts a long time. It is a good choice if you want the feel of wood without the work that comes with it. Companies like Trex and ModWood provide finishes that resist UV rays and slips. These come in many modern colors. This makes composite decking perfect for busy families or rental homes.
If your home is on a slope or has an uneven area, a raised or multi-level deck is a smart choice. It gives you more space without needing lots of landscaping. We will work with your property to create a deck that is safe, meets the rules, and looks good.
We don’t only make flat surfaces. We also add custom stairs, privacy screens, balustrades, and storage choices to our decks. If you want a nice wire handrail or a wooden screen for more privacy, we can change it to fit what you need.

We often suggest Merbau, Blackbutt, and Spotted Gum. They can withstand Canberra’s heat and frost. With the right care, they also look great over the years.
This can vary based on the size and the details of the deck. Raised or multi-level decks might take a bit longer.
Modern composite decking is not slippery and is cooler than older types. Brands like Trex and ModWood are made for Australian backyards and work well in our weather.
