Hi Fahim,

Things to consider:

1. hardwood vs treated pine (arsenic free).
2. How far off the ground is it? This will alter the price slightly due to post lengths.
3. Will there be a railing around the deck?
4. Steps?
5. concrete for post holes. 20kg bag $7
6. Have you considered using metal decking parts for the posts, bearers?
4. paint

Hardwood decks look nice when new, but overtime fade and require yearly maintenance (oiling etc).

Cost - are you planning DIY ?
