We've got everything for the DIY enthusiast

Pergolas, Decking, Carports, Patios and more...

Softwoods is a terrific place for anyone interested in DIY home improvements. We have specifically developed our three stores as “one stop shops” to ensure our busy DIY customers can complete projects from start to finish without the hassle of running around. Our greatest assets are our staff, who have excellent knowledge of all facets of building outdoors with timber, and can offer you the best advice at an extremely competitive price. Our DIY stores can provide you with either a fully designed, pre cut and painted pergola or deck (complete with plans, roofing and fixings) or any quantity of timber you are after (no matter how small or large) We can also provide you with quotes on roofing, pergolas and decking through our online store

Pre cut pergola & decking kits

Our unique, individually-designed pre-cut pergola and decking kits make things substantially simpler for the Do-It-Yourselfer, and deliver stunning results. Made to measure for your own home and fully pre-cut, including angles, our kits come with a comprehensive instruction book to ensure installation is entirely hassle-free (instructions are also online here, if you'd like to have a look) We even mark the timbers for easy identification. We’re proud of our kit service, and firmly believe it saves you time and money, and makes building your own deck or pergola much more appealing than it’s ever been.

Design service, help & advice

In addition to our kits, we can also offer you great design advice, using our expertise to tailor any design to create a DIY project that meets your particular needs and budget. Just take a few measurements at home, download our project planner for details, and bring the measurements into one of our stores(or email us) Our friendly staff will discuss ideas and help you determine the best possible solution and design for your personal outdoor living needs.

Once the design phase is complete, we’ll provide you with computerised plans and all required documentation to submit to council for your structure's approval. If you'd prefer that we handle your council application for you, we can do this for a small fee also. Once your approval is granted we’ll pack and deliver your entire project in kit form with a complete bill of materials.
