Great product at a good price.

I came across Clickdeck on facebook. I was looking at putting up a deck at home so sent through a price request to Nathan. Very happy with the price, especially compared to timber decking.

Nathan has been very helpful from the start of the process. He provided layout drawings that made it easy for us to put the clickdeck system together ourselves.

Very happy with the system and service.

Finished building my clients deck using the Click Deck system. I'm very impressed with how easy it was to install and the time saved building it compared to other products. From the first point of contact the customer service was exceptional.

The quality of the product supplied is excellent and i will not be hesitating to offer this as an alternative option to my clients.

This was my first deck build with v limited experience. Land was uneven and I did not want to level it unless absolutely necessary. Nathan was super helpful. Click-deck option was perfect for me. Pedestals worked well. Once I had them all secured and level the framing came together in no time. I finished off with composite boards. Very happy with result. Now to get the fence sorted. 🤣

Very lucky to have googled this company, all of the staff give very quick and useful responses. I am a person even seldom use a screw driver, I can complete the decking with the instructions and tools. I would recommend to all those who want to save money ( I saved 3 times than the quotes I have) but are also inexperienced.
