Outdoor living is bigger than ever in New Zealand, and deck design is evolving rapidly to match. Here are five trends making waves in 2025 for Kiwi homeowners:

1. Multi-Level Decks

Tiered decks create visual interest and functional zones—ideal for entertaining, lounging, or dining.

2. Built-In Seating

Integrated benches offer space-saving seating that blends into your deck design for a clean finish.

3. Pergolas and Overhead Cover

Adding a pergola or roof lets you enjoy your deck in all weather while boosting style and shade.

4. Hidden Fasteners

Sleek and modern, concealed deck screws and clips are the new norm for a flawless finish.

5. Eco-Friendly Materials

Recycled composite boards and sustainably sourced timber are top picks for environmentally conscious Kiwis.

These trends not only enhance the look of your outdoor space but also add value to your home. Talk to a local builder about incorporating these into your next project.
