Categories - chosen by YOU
-
Best large Trex®deck
This category is open to all residential Trex® decks over 30m2 in size. Of course, size isn't the only thing that matters - we're looking for a deck that adds an extra dimension to a large outdoor space to create something truly special.
-
Best small Trex®deck
This category is for residential Trex® decks under 30m2 in size. In this category, unique features and innovative solutions that make the best use of limited outdoor space will capture the judges' attention.
-
Top Spec Trex® Deck
This category is for Trex® decks that have all the added extras: entries to this category must include use of Trex Signature Railing and/or ArborRail, as well as the Trex Lighting Collection, and/or CustomCurve curved decking boards. To be in with a chance of winning, we need the deck to include at least two of these features.
-
Best Trex®design solution
We're looking for Trex® decks that have had to overcome a challenging space or include tricky elements in the decking project. For example, did the deck have to incorporate a feature such as a hot tub or pond? Did the customer request built-in seating, or did you have to find a clever way to incorporate an existing feature, like a tree, skylight, or swimming pool? Have you reshaped a sloping site, reclaimed previously unusable space, or created a practical storage solution in a deck to add functionality? This is the category for you!
-
Best Arbordeck softwood timber deck
Celebrating the beauty of softwood decks, this category is open to all Arbordeck softwood timber decks - residential or commercial, large or small. The judges are looking for an impressive design and installation that makes the very best of the available space.
-
Deck of the Year
All Arbordeck Awards 2022 category winners will be automatically included as entries in the Deck of the Year Award category. We are looking for a deck that features outstanding quality of design and installation; showcases the very best of outdoor living; and celebrates the unique qualities of either Trex® composite or Arbordeck softwood timber decking. This category cannot be entered in isolation.
