A notable trend has emerged towards expanding outdoor living spaces in the relaxing and peaceful coastal suburb of Gold Beach, Queensland. Many homeowners are seeing the benefits of enhancing their properties to enjoy the beautiful Queensland climate. One great example is David Newton, a Sunshine Coast patio and carport builder, who decided to upgrade his Golden Beach home.
In June 2022, David chose to add a stylish and spacious verandah extension to the back of his ‘beach shack’, seamlessly blending the indoors with the outdoors. He built an elegant deck and patio with a gable-style patio to complement the roofline and design of his home. His vision? To invite the outdoors into his daily life, embracing Queensland’s delightful climate all year round. This space would serve as a hub for entertaining family and friends and a serene retreat for sharing moments with his wife. On the left-hand side, David designed an expansive dining and entertainment area, while on the right, he created a private, secluded lounge using operable shutters and vertical aluminium slats.
“Living in a coastal area, we’re no strangers to unpredictable weather, from seasonal rains to tropical storms and gusty winds. So, when planning our home renovation, choosing materials capable of withstanding these conditions was important,” says David.
As a builder specialising in Ausdeck patios and outdoor living products, the choice for David was clear. Ausdeck, proudly Australian-made and renowned for its quality and exceptional customer service, offers a one-stop solution for patios and carports.
David opted for Ausdeck’s dependable insulated patio system with a marine-grade finish, our low-maintenance Trex composite decking, our versatile and modern Nirvana operable shutters, and our easy-to-install Quick Screen aluminium slats. By combining these products, he created the perfect lifestyle for him and his family.
