Pergola, Decking, and Verandah Inspection

As part of a full pre-purchase building inspection, Action property Inspections includes a pergola, decking and/or verandah inspection (as part of the house exterior inspection).   A deck inspection is very important as decay damage, inadequate bracing, and loose boards all compromise deck safety.  To be aware of any potential problems, it is therefore vital to incorporate a comprehensive analysis of deck, verandah, and pergola structures.

We check:

Pergola

• General building compliance
• Decay
• Undersized timbers
• inadequate bracing

Decking

• Decay damage
• Loose boards
• Overspaning boards
• Incorrectly installed decking

Verandah Structure

• Building compliance
• Adequate bracing and tie downs
• Overspaning timbers
