Do I need a building permit for a deck in London?

Generally, yes. If your deck is more than 24 inches (60cm) above grade, attached to your house, or larger than 108 square feet, a building permit is required. Naklo Fence & Deck handles the permit application and drawings for you.

What is the difference between composite and pressure treated wood?

Pressure treated wood is natural lumber treated to resist rot; it is more affordable but requires regular staining. Composite decking is a synthetic product that mimics wood grain; it costs more upfront but requires zero staining, does not splinter, and lasts 25+ years.

How long does it take to build a deck?

A standard 12x12 deck usually takes 2-4 days to complete once construction begins, weather permitting. Permit approval from the city typically takes 1-3 weeks prior to starting.

The Naklo Decking Difference:

What's Underneath Matters

A beautiful deck is only as good as the frame supporting it. At Naklo Fence & Deck, we don't just build for aesthetics; we build for generational strength. While other contractors might cut corners where you can't see them, we over-engineer our substructures to ensure your deck never bounces, sags, or settles.

Heavy-Duty Framing & Footings: We build rock-solid foundations using proper, deep-set footings and heavy-duty lumber designed to withstand heavy Southwestern Ontario snow loads and freeze-thaw cycles.
Protective Joist Tape Standard: Water sitting on top of wooden joists is the number one cause of premature deck failure. We go the extra mile by applying premium protective joist tape to the top of our deck frames before laying down the boards. This crucial expert step prevents rot and drastically extends the life of your deck's foundation.
Premium Hardware: We never use cheap screws that will rust and snap. We use only top-tier, corrosion-resistant structural screws and premium hardware to lock your frame together safely.

Our Custom Decking Products

MicroPro Sienna Treated Wood: We proudly use premium MicroPro Sienna lumber. Unlike older treated woods that have a harsh green tint, MicroPro Sienna features a rich, warm brown tone right from the start.
Built to Last: Treated with advanced, environmentally friendly technology, this wood is engineered to resist rot, fungal decay, and termites, standing up beautifully to the harsh Canadian elements.

2. Premium Luxury: PVC & Composite Decking
