Decking is where villa life happens — around the pool, on the terrace and on the rooftop at sunset. In Bali, a deck needs to cope with sun, heavy rain, chlorinated water and termites. We install hardwood decking in merbau, ulin (ironwood) and bengkirai, and premium WPC composite for low-maintenance areas.

Correct installation matters as much as the timber: we build on treated or galvanised steel frames with proper spacing and drainage, use stainless steel fixings or hidden clips, and finish with UV-protective oil.

Local conditions: Uluwatu

Uluwatu is drier than the rest of south Bali but exposed to strong sun, wind and salt spray on the cliffs. Outdoor joinery needs UV-resistant finishes, stainless fixings and timber chosen for weather resistance.

Popular styles in Uluwatu

Uluwatu style is coastal and raw: natural timber, limestone, concrete, rattan and bold indoor-outdoor living with ocean views.

Frequently asked questions

How much does decking cost per square metre in Uluwatu?

Installed merbau or bengkirai decking in Uluwatu starts from around Rp 1.3–2 million per m², ulin from about Rp 2 million per m², and WPC composite from about Rp 1.3 million per m², depending on the frame and access.

How long does it take to install a deck in Uluwatu?

A typical pool deck in Uluwatu takes 1–2 weeks on site once materials are ready.

What is the best decking wood for Bali?

Ulin (Borneo ironwood) is the hardest and most durable but more expensive. Merbau and bengkirai offer an excellent balance of durability and price. For zero maintenance, composite (WPC) is a good option, though it can get hotter underfoot in full sun.

How often does a timber deck need oiling?

In Bali's sun we recommend re-oiling exposed decks every 6–12 months to keep the colour and protect the surface. Left unoiled, hardwood will weather naturally to a silver-grey.

Do you work in Bingin, Padang Padang and Pecatu?

Yes, we cover the whole Uluwatu area, including Bingin, Padang Padang, Pecatu, Suluban, Labuan Sait and Dreamland.

What materials do you recommend for cliffside villas?

For outdoor areas we recommend ulin, merbau or teak with UV oil, stainless steel fixings and composite decking in very exposed spots.
