DIY DeckCell Subframe System

DIY DeckCell Subframe System

The world’s most accessible DIY Deck system. If you can put Lego together, you can build a modular decking subframe using DeckCell.

DeckCell will never rot, rust or degrade in any way – unlike timber. The ultra-low 50mm minimum height requirement (compared to 150 minimum for traditional subframes) makes it the perfect low-profile decking system.

DeckCell by NexGEN is a DIY subframe suitable for installing on top of concrete, waterproof membrane, patio pavers and tiles, or over compacted sand or gravel. It’s quick to install compared to a traditional timber or steel subframe. And, our Poly Joists feed directly through the DeckCells so you can lay your composite boards with ease.

DIY DeckCell is incredibly durable, robust, and termite proof, too.

Why DIY DeckCell?

  • No expensive trades required.
  • The smartest choice of subframe if you’re building a low-height deck.
  • No need to waste time and effort lifting up your old pavers and disposing of them.
  • Very fast and easy to install thanks to the clever modular design.
  • No need for specialist tools and equipment such as welders, saving you hiring fees.
  • DIY DeckCell is fully compatible with the NexGEN hidden fastening system and our composite wood decking range.
  • DeckCell can be cut and trimmed as required, simply click the panels together to build your subframe.

Customer Testimonials

Gordon and Patricia

“We needed a new deck because the timber deck we had was 25 years old and rotting. We found NexGEN and spoke to Roxanne who arranged for her and Jim to come and help with a measure and quote. Even though Jim was busy he was able to fit us in earlier than first discussed. Jim did a wonderful job and we now have a deck that will outlast both of us. Thank you Roxanne and Jim for all of your help“

Deb and Dave

“My husband and I were looking for a decking product that looked like real wood but without the maintenance as we are both busy shift workers. I found NexGen Decking and after much research and comparison with other similar products settled on what I consider to be the best out there. The initial contact with Roxanne was fantastic. Her professionalism and passion for the product sold us. When it came time for installation Jim was fabulous. A keen eye for detail, professional and wonderfully polite and easy to get along with. We both highly recommend NexGen Decking and will be looking to get Roxanne and Jim back to do our next project soon. Thanks again Roxanne and Jim. We will be in contact about the rear deck project a bit later in the year.”

Harry – Holland Park West, Queensland

“ We’re Beyond delighted with our newly transformed rooftop garden. NexGen was the perfect product for the job. The professionalism, support and communication provided by sales Manager Roxanne made a potentially stressful renovation, smooth and easy running. The installation was handled by Jim. The skill and pride taken in his work is to be admired and we’ll be forever grateful to have our home improved by such fantastic workmanship. My highest of recommendations to NexGen and team. Thank you!“

Jasen, Tarragindi Queensland

“We wanted to replace the cheap and deteriorated existing decking on a two year old home with an environmentally responsible, strong and quality sustainable product, so after much research and a few quotes we chose NexGEN Graphite decking. We couldn’t be happier, with the product that looks neat and tidy, strong and long lasting, and the incredible attention to detail of the install. Jim assembled our decks and did a remarkable and beautiful job, really taking the time to get it right the first time. Great value too and the competition just couldn’t match the value for money not to mention the warranty and support for the product. Highly recommended, and thanks to NexGEN for an easy purchase and install.”
