Send the details through or bring a sample into the workshop so we can confirm the dimensions and material for your quote. Our most competitive pricing is for matching runs under 150 lineal metres.
Use the fretwork visualiser to compare 19 internal patterns at your opening width and height. Above 2,500 mm, the preview is indicative: additional pattern may be added through the middle to keep the finished panel balanced.
Start with your ground-to-deck height and stair width, or choose a tread count at the standard 165 mm rise. The stair tools help you plan the layout and select a treated-pine or Merbau kit before sending your requirements for a quote.
