Finishing Touches
Get outdoor decking that’s as safe as it is stylish with handrails & balustrades
Do you want to add a point of difference to your outdoor decking? Whether you have a flat, tiered or multi-level timber deck design, consider handrails and balustrades to break up the space and give your deck a unique look and feel. If your deck is raised above ground, you may require handrails for safety reasons. Your Wizard deck builder will assess whether or not your deck requires handrails for council approval.

Whatever decking design and style you preference, we offer a range of decking stain solutions that not only protect the timber on your deck, but give it a fantastic finish, too. Choose from clear, semi-transparent, semi-solid and solid timber stains depending on the finish that fits with the look and feel of your home. If you’re unsure which stain will work for your timber deck, speak to a Wizard consultant to talk over your options for both the best timber for your decking and the stain that’s right for you.
Turn your deck into an outdoor room with lighting and outdoor blinds
Once your deck construction is complete, consider lighting options to create the look and feel you want. From spotlights and fairy lights above, to lights hidden amongst the trees that shine from the ground-up; lighting is a simple, affordable way to improve the look of your outdoor deck. If you’ve decided on building a deck in a naturally light-filled area, consider shade and privacy with outdoor blinds. Speak to our team about installing tinted outdoor blinds as a cost-effective, stylish way to ensure your outdoor entertaining space remains exclusive.
