Established Belconnen
Flynn, ACT was developed during Belconnen’s 1970s growth and is mostly detached family homes with established gardens.
Outdoor timber
Pergolas, screens, posts and fences take more weather than the house. Painted outdoor timber needs loose paint removed, bare wood primed and joints sealed. Decks are a different case: they are usually better with a penetrating oil or stain than paint, which can peel underfoot.

Flynn’s gardens and outdoor living
Flynn’s established homes often have pergolas, screens, decks and fences that see more weather than the house itself. Painted outdoor timber needs loose paint removed, bare timber primed and joints sealed so water can’t get in behind the coating. Decks are a separate decision: paint on a walking surface tends to wear and peel, so an oil or stain is usually better. We price outdoor structures separately so you can include them in the job or leave them for later, and we protect plants and paving while we work.
Before work starts
Stained timber from this era needs a stain-blocking primer before light paint. Fibre-cement eaves in older homes may contain asbestos and are cleaned gently, never sanded. More on painting in Belconnen.
Common questions
Should we paint or stain our deck?
Usually stain or oil. Paint on walking surfaces tends to wear and peel.
Can you paint our pergola?
Yes, with proper preparation of the timber first.
Do you oil decks as well as paint?
We can recommend and apply a suitable deck oil or stain where that suits the timber better than paint.
