Coogee’s Trusted Deck Builders
5 Star Decking has been building decks for Coogee homeowners since 2009. From steep beachside blocks on Coogee Bay Road to courtyard builds behind the federation homes on Carr Street — we know this suburb and we know how to build for it.
Coogee is one of Sydney’s toughest environments for timber. The combination of salt air off the Tasman, strong summer UV, and the humidity around the beach means you need a deck built to coastal spec — not a standard residential build. Every Coogee project we quote includes marine-grade stainless fixings, appropriate timber species selection, and proper subframe engineering for the block conditions.
Our carpenters are licensed, insured, and Eastern Suburbs based. NSW Builder’s Licence 395250C. 2-year workmanship guarantee on every project.
What Makes Coogee Builds Different
- Salt-laden air within 300m of the beach — stainless fixings are non-negotiable
- Many blocks slope sharply toward the beach — elevated and suspended decks are common
- Heritage overlay on parts of Coogee — council DA requirements vary street by street
- Pool decking demand is high — we build slip-rated, compliant pool surrounds throughout
Recent Coogee Project — Evalast Pioneer Pool Deck
Coogee Bay Road — 38m² composite pool deck with frameless glass balustrade. Zero-maintenance Evalast Pioneer in True Ipe.
“We live 200m from the beach so we knew timber wasn’t going to cut it long term. 5 Star recommended the Evalast Pioneer — it’s been two years and it looks exactly the same as install day. Couldn’t be happier.”
— Michael R., Coogee Bay Road, Coogee ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Frequently Asked Questions — Coogee Decking
Do I need council approval for a deck in Coogee?
Coogee sits across Waverley and Randwick council boundaries depending on the street. Decks under 1m high and within CDC thresholds generally don’t need a DA — but coastal overlay areas and heritage zones can change that. We check this on every quote and manage the DA process for you where required.
What decking material is best near Coogee Beach?
For anything within 500m of the beach, we recommend Evalast Pioneer composite or Spotted Gum hardwood. Both hold up against salt air, UV and humidity far better than pine or standard composite boards. We use 316 marine-grade stainless fixings on all Coogee builds regardless of timber choice.
Can you build a pool deck that meets Waverley Council compliance?
Yes — we handle pool fencing compliance, non-slip ratings (P4 minimum for wet areas), drainage fall, and waterproofing all in one scope. We liaise directly with council where required and handle the certifier sign-off.
How much does a deck cost in Coogee?
Composite pool decks typically run $700–$950/m² installed. Spotted Gum or Blackbutt hardwood is $550–$750/m². Elevated builds on sloped blocks add cost for engineering and footings. We provide a fixed-price quote after an on-site measure — no surprises.
