Why Choose Jarrah Decking?
Originating in southwest Australia, Jarrah has been a favorite Aussie timber since the 1980s. It has made an appearance in a range of different products — including furniture, boards, and construction — and it has been used often in marinas, businesses, commercial buildings, and homes.
One of the most attractive qualities of this type of wood is its beautiful, dynamic colour variations (it can range from a rich red all the way through to a striking reddish-brown). What’s more, this durable wood has an attractive grain and a high resistance to termites, weather damage, and other natural elements.
This makes it the perfect choice for anyone in the beach communities who is looking to up their game and find a timber option that’s resistant to ocean water and salty air. What’s more, the burnt sienna, earthy tones of this native wood lend an instant lived-in feel that you won’t get with other wood options.
Benefits of Jarrah Decking
Deciding to install a new board is the easy part – choosing the right timber is where things get tricky. While this type of hardwood timber is known for its strength and durability, there are plenty of other exciting reasons to wake up to a timber verandah or patio.
As a leading timber material, the following advantages are only a phone call away.
- Rot-resistant
- Termite-resistant
- Fire-resistant
- Easy to work with
- Affordable yet elegant
- Stunning finish
As one of Australia’s most prized timbers, this type of board can last up to 25 years (with proper care and maintenance) and it’s easy to see why more and more households are refusing to work with anything but jarrah.
How Much Does Jarrah Decking Cost?
Because of its popularity and rarity, jarrah is a fairly expensive timber option. Prices generally range from $180 to $320/m2.
Outside of the raw timber cost, you’ll need to factor in installation costs, labour, and any support structures when determining your overall cost. That said, we always recommend that you do your research and make sure that you choose a licensed, seasoned profession for your needs.
Your home is your safe space, and any kind of home improvement project should be approached with care and consideration.

How long is the installation process?
Ok, so let’s talk about timelines.
There are many factors to consider when establishing the timeline of your installation. First, there’s the timber itself. Certain woods are much easier to work with, while others require more care and special construction — and this will affect the overall timeline. That said, there are three phases of each installation project:
PHASE ONE: Planning, Design and Layout
PHASE TWO: Foundation, Posts and Framing
PHASE THREE: Decking, Railing and Stairs
Phase one will invariably take the most time, as designing your jarrah decking, getting permits, finishing your council applications and other preparation tasks tend to take a while. That said, once your design gets prepared and approved, the process will be quick and smooth.
At Urban Arch Building, we take great pains to ensure that your job is completed to the highest standards and with minimal interruption to your day-to-day routine and lifestyle. Want to learn more? Reach out to our team of Sydney Deck Builders for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions About Jarrah Decking In Sydney
What is the maintenance process?
If you want your jarrah decking to maintain its colour and texture, you’ll need to put in some work to maintain it. However, the amount of maintenance that it needs will depend on many factors, including the weather, the amount of foot traffic, and the number of spills or other issues you encounter.
In any case, our team of Sydney timber deck builders recommend that you clean your board at least once or twice a year using a product like oxalic acid, although you can also hire professionals to do this maintenance for you if you’d rather keep your weekends free.
Is jarrah a hardwood or a softwood?
Jarrah is a hardwood, scoring 8.5 on the Janka rating (anything above a score of 8 is considered to be a hardwood). However, unlike harder alternatives like ironbark, this material is still soft enough to easily work with sharp tools.
What is this type of wood used for?
Known for its versatility and durability, this material is an ideal wood for a variety of uses, including:
- House framing
- Flooring
- Linings
- Fencing
- Decking
- Furniture
- Stairs
- Balustrades
Is jarrah a better timber than spotted gum?
This comes down to preference more than the inherent attributes of each timber. Before making your choice, be sure to consider the location of your new board, your preferred level of maintenance, the appearance of your board, and qualities of durability and longevity. If you’re considering a spotted gum board, visit our Spotted Gum page.
Will this material retain its colour?
In short no – but there’s more to this question. Its appearance ranges from light reds to deep browns, though exposure to sunlight can transform the boards into a rich, elegant burgundy shade. However, if left untreated, this type of timber can turn to a pebbly grey. This is preferred by some Sydney homeowners who want their board to mature as it ages, although the close grain of jarrah means initial colours are held for longer.
If you’d prefer to maintain the red/brown/burgundy colour palette, you’ll need to look after your new board with regular oiling and sealing to prevent fading.
