When you’re designing a pergola, the structure itself is only part of the story — the pergola flooring sets the tone for the whole space. The right choice creates comfort, durability, and a seamless connection between your indoor and outdoor living. At Pergola Land, we specialise in decking and external flooring systems that not only look fantastic but also withstand Sydney’s unique climate conditions.
Here are the three main pergola flooring options we recommend:
Hardwood Decking
Hardwood decking is a timeless option for pergola flooring. It’s strong, naturally beautiful, and brings warmth to any outdoor space. Hardwoods like spotted gum and merbau are particularly popular, offering rich tones that blend perfectly with both classic and modern homes. With regular maintenance, hardwood decking will last for decades and continue to look stunning year after year.
BAL Deck System (External Flooring)
For homeowners in bushfire-prone areas, our BAL Deck system is the perfect solution. Rated to BAL FZ, this innovative external flooring system is built on a strong extended-span steel joist structure, topped with compressed fibre cement floor sheeting. This creates a solid, long-lasting base that can be customised with tiles or other inlay options after installation. The BAL Deck system provides unmatched strength, fire compliance, and design flexibility — giving you confidence that your outdoor space is both safe and stylish.
Aluminium Decking
If you’re looking for a low-maintenance alternative, aluminium decking is an excellent choice. It won’t rot, warp, or attract termites, and it’s designed to handle Australia’s tough weather. With the look of traditional timber but none of the upkeep, aluminium decking gives you the clean, modern feel of timber decking without the need for ongoing oiling or staining. It’s also a great option for families wanting a practical, long-lasting alfresco floor solution.
Choosing the right pergola flooring is about balancing style, safety, and maintenance needs. Whether you prefer the natural warmth of hardwood, the fire-rated strength of our BAL Deck system, or the durability of aluminium, Pergola Land has the expertise to design and build the perfect outdoor space for your home.
