Services
Bali Huts
Custom-designed Balinese huts crafted from premium Alang Alang Thatch and CCA-treated timber frames. These structures offer natural insulation, reducing temperatures by up to 10C compared to metal roofs. Each installation includes handcrafted crowns and finials for enhanced durability, with options for stained finishes and synthetic thatch upgrades. Clients receive a 20-year frame warranty and 5-year workmanship guarantee.
Decks
Low-set timber decks designed to complement Bali huts and enhance outdoor living spaces. Constructed using durable, weather-resistant materials, these decks provide seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor areas. Custom handrails and screening options ensure safety and privacy, while the natural aesthetics align with tropical landscaping requirements across South East Queensland.
Re-thatching
Comprehensive re-thatching services for existing Bali huts using A-grade imported Alang Alang Thatch. Our process includes structural reinforcement, removal of damaged materials, and application of improved thatching techniques developed since 1995. Clients benefit from extended longevity through our proprietary installation methods, with options to upgrade to synthetic alternatives for low-maintenance solutions.
Synthetic Thatch
Durable synthetic thatch solutions offering 50+ year lifespans with minimal maintenance. This waterproof alternative resists wildlife damage and colour degradation, maintaining aesthetic appeal without natural thatch breakdown. Installation includes steel ring frameworks for secure attachment, ideal for clients seeking permanent structures without periodic re-thatching requirements.
Custom Designs
Full-service custom design for unique Bali huts, gazebos, and shade solutions. Our team creates bespoke dimensions and shapes to suit specific spatial constraints and aesthetic preferences. Services include material selection guidance, council approval facilitation, and integration with existing architectural elements, ensuring each structure meets both functional needs and visual expectations.

We had Johan and his team come out to install a Bali Hut and Deck around our pool recently. They were so professional and accommodating to our requirements. We were extremely happy with the workmanship and build of our Hut and could not recommend them higher enough. Thank you to all the team for the excellent Hut and deck and installing before Christmas so we had a lovely tropical place to cool off this summer.

We must admit to not being great fans of Bali huts so you can imagine the dilemma when we bought a new house with a sizeable Bali Hut. The men loved it, the ladies had mixed feelings. They do have a certain colonial, romantic charm, with images of Marlon Brando in Tahiti, Somerset Maugham drinking his cocktails under a warm Asiatic sky. It took two months of the Queensland summer to become total converts. The thermal qualities are amazing. Like a typical Melbourne day, it was tropical Summer on the outside and Victorian Spring under the cooling thatch. No thundering rain on a metal roof for us

We recently had a 3m bali hut built by Johan and the crew. They did a fantastic job and the bali hut transformed our pool area into a tropical paradise.

These guys are brilliant! We had our hut installed 2 years ago with Brisbane Thatch & Decks. Johan & the installers were so good & the hut we needed was a custom 7 sided shape that the others wouldn't touch. "BTD" visited twice to recheck & fine tune measurements(& we are on the Sunshine Coast). After 2 years hut is still brilliant & such an asset to our outside living. So pleasant on a hot day, keeps very cool under. Don't go anywhere else! Gerry
