Frequently asked questions
-
What is the difference between a Patio, a Pergola and a Verandah?
This is a tricky one! And that is simply because these terms are all used differently in different areas. Typically, it can easily be summed up as;
A Patio is a slab, pad, deck or area typically used to entertain - it can be covered or open, attached to a house or freestanding, and typically houses an outdoor setting or lounge.A Pergola is the structure that might provide shade to a patio - it can be attached to a house, it can be a part of the building structure (i.e., a shared roof) or it can be freestanding. In some areas, a pergola refers to a structure without a roof (you may have seen these as open structures that hold vines and foliage for shade), although in Australia it is common to refer to roofed structures as pergolas as well.
A verandah (or veranda) is typically used to describe the 'transition' area of a home that separates indoors from outdoors - these are typically longer, narrower shelters and are often part of the buildings structure. While sometimes housing a small table, chairs or lounge, verandahs aren't typically used for entertaining and tend to function more as protection from the weather while entering and exiting your home.

Are Outdoor Kitchens easy to look after?
Whether you're a BBQ boss or more of an alfresco cooking apprentice, you'll find using and maintaining our Outdoor Kitchens a breeze! No messy charcoal or unreliable lighting methods, our outdoor kitchens and cooktops are a breeze to start, use and clean. Plus, they can be connected to your homes gas lines (by an expert, of course) so you also never have to worry about the last minute run for another expensive gas bottle. Our kitchen benches are super easy to clean, and won't rust like their stainless steel counterparts, and fully enclosed cabinetry means your cupboards won't fill up with dust and bugs the same way your traditional BBQ cabinet does. Easier to use, easier to clean and even better tasting food that keeps that iconic barbecue flavour? What's not to love!

How do I look after composite decking?
One of the best things about Modwood Composite Decking is that it requires almost no maintenance! Built by certified decking contractors, there's no sanding, oiling, painting, staining or splinters - simply sweep with a broom to remove dust, or hose with your garden hose. To manage a really grubby deck, a little dish soap or a mild surfactant and a high pressure washer will have it looking new in no time! Simply ensure you rinse well after cleaning to avoid any remaining cleaning product residue leaving the surface slippery.
-
Does Artificial Lawn look fake?
Long gone is the neon green astroturf that dominated the 80's - our high quality synthetic grass looks realistic because it is designed to have the natural irregularities you see in real turf, rather than the uniformity of green carpet. Dense, heavy in weight and with great drainage, our lawns won't wrinkle, crease or lift. They boast multiple earthy shades of green, as well as a fine, curly brown thatching for a truly realistic look. So instead of wondering whether your lawn is real or fake - you'll have your neighbours wondering how your lawn looks so good when they've never even seen you mow it!
-
How do I maintain my Timber Decking?
Keeping your wooden decking clean and well maintained will extend its lifespan and ensure your outdoor space looks beautiful for longer.
Keeping your deck clean is the first step of maintaining your deck. After a good clean, and a rinse to ensure there is no residue of cleaning products remaining on the surface. Allow the decking to dry completely before sparingly applying a coat of the decking oil of your choice; you can apply by wiping on with a clean, microfibre cloth or a decking oil applicator. Allow the oil to dry before applying a second coat if necessary.
