New decking and railing details that make the balcony solid and easy to use.
A deck should be a place where life happens: breakfast in the sun, barbecue evenings, kids running in and out, and wet feet after a swim. That’s why we build decks and terraces with one simple idea at the core: it should feel solid, straight and secure — not bouncy and “temporary”. On Öland, where wind, moisture and the coastal climate are often tougher than you think, the details matter even more. We do the job with professional attention to structure, fixings and finish, so the deck lasts for many years.
We start with the conditions: level differences, ground bearing capacity, where water goes and how the deck should meet the house. A deck built too close to the ground without proper ventilation can develop problems long before the boards “look old”, so we always think ventilation and drainage. Then we size the load‑bearing parts such as piers, joists and beams, and make sure spacing and fixings are right. This is where many builds become weak — but it’s where we build like pros.
When we lay decking, it’s not just about screwing boards. We plan joints, direction and terminations so the whole looks clean. We account for wood movement, choose the right screws for the environment and make sure the surface feels good underfoot. Want stairs, level changes, railings or built‑in benches? We build them so they feel like a designed part of the deck — not something added afterward.
Material choices affect both feel and maintenance. We help you choose between different decking types and explain what it means in practice: how warm it gets in the sun, how it ages, how often it needs maintenance and how it stands up to weather. We can also help with smart solutions for privacy screens, trellises or a simple pergola that gives the deck a “room” feel.
You get a clear process: we align on design, function and details before we build. And when we’re done, you should feel you’ve got a deck that both looks professional and feels professional to use — every day, in any weather.
Tell us where on Öland you live and what you want to build. We’ll come out, review the conditions and help you land on a durable solution.
Quick answers about scope, areas and how to get started.
It depends on the ground, height and how the deck will be loaded. Often it’s piers, slabs or another stable base so the beams sit correctly and the deck keeps its shape over time.
At a site visit we look at slope, distance to the house and how to reduce movement and moisture contact. A good foundation makes the deck quieter, straighter and easier to maintain.
In coastal conditions the decking needs to handle moisture, sun and wind. The choice affects both feel and maintenance: some materials grey faster, others need more frequent treatment.
We talk through your goals: “low maintenance”, “warm under bare feet” or “maximum lifespan”. Then we adapt fixings and details so the whole solution works in Öland’s conditions.
Yes — and that’s often where the overall feel is made. A good railing should feel solid, look good and match the style of the house. Stairs need the right rise and placement for flow on the plot.
We help you find a solution that works in daily use — and looks right when everything is finished, not just on paper.
Bounce almost always comes from sizing or bearing: wrong spacing, too slender joists, or beams without stable support. It can also be about how the deck is tied to the house and braced.
We size for span and load and make sure joists/beams get proper support. The result is a deck that feels solid.
Proper drainage and ventilation are key. Decking that never dries or sits with the wrong slope wears faster. End grain, joints and connections are just as important.
We think through details like drip edges, spacers/air gaps and clean terminations at the house and railing — the things that make a big difference in coastal conditions.
After a site visit we can often give a clear plan for next steps: design, materials and a rough timeline. Smaller decks go faster; larger projects need more planning.
Feel free to send measurements, photos and a short idea. Then we can respond more precisely right away.
It depends on size, levels, foundation and details (e.g., railings and stairs). When the scope is clear we can quote; otherwise a time-and-materials setup may fit better.
We review conditions on site and agree on the choices before we start, so it is clear what is included and why.
We primarily work on Öland, focusing on Borgholm and Mörbylånga municipalities. We also take jobs in Kalmar municipality when the project fits.
