Honest Answers · Terrace cost

What a terrace costs — honest numbers

In this industry, prices are traditionally hidden until the site visit. We publish ours — because behind every figure stands a patented production, written guarantees, and people who stay around after handover.

Example: a 50 m² turnkey terrace

A terrace is three things: the frame, the timber and the care program. The Elite bundle over 50 m²: DeckKing frame 5,500,000 ₸ (installation included) + Karagach Elite boards 3,375,000 ₸ + the 6-year Legacy program 800,000 ₸ = 9,675,000 ₸, or 193,500 ₸/m². Against 300,000 ₸/m² of total value, that's 106,500 ₸/m² saved. The full bundle maths with a calculator for your area →

What moves the total
What stands behind the price

A patented press-vacuum process · full cycle from log to board · guarantees in writing, in the contract · 2 years on installation, no conditions · real people in Almaty who pick up the phone years after handover.

Timelines: 8–10 weeks standard; 4-week express at a premium. Material supply without installation — 60 days.

What a terrace is actually made of

Five components — and only one of them is timber

When people compare terrace quotes, they compare the price of the board. But the board is roughly a third of what you end up paying, and almost never the part that ruins the terrace four years later. Here are all five components, honestly, in order.

A thermally modified board close up: the edge and the face

1 · The timber

The board itself: species, grade, width. From 31,600 ₸/m² for thermo-pine to 86,490 ₸/m² for thermo-oak; thermo-karagach is 55,000 ₸/m² in Natur and 67,500 ₸/m² in Elite. The full list is in the table above.

Oiling a board in the workshop before installation

2 · The oiling

Thermowood doesn't rot, but it fades under UV. Oil is what holds the color. You have four routes here, and they differ in both price and consequence.

Steel frame beneath a terrace

3 · The steel frame

What everything stands on, and the most underestimated line. The spread here is wider than on timber — and this is where the economising happens that has a terrace sagging a few years later.

Clips and stainless fixings

4 · The fixings

Clips, screws, bolts. A line you can barely see in a quote — a fraction of a per cent of the total. And the first thing to rust if it is ordinary steel: the board is fine, but there is nothing sound holding it down.

Boards being laid on the frame

5 · Installation

The crew's work: preparing the base, setting levels, layout, cutting, hidden fixings, oiling the cut ends on site. With the DeckKing system, installation sits inside the frame price.

And then, every year

An unmaintained terrace doesn't fall apart — it silvers and loses depth of color over two or three seasons. Annual re-oiling is the reason one terrace still looks like its handover photograph six years on, and another looks like gray decking.

2 · Oiling — four routes

Honestly, what you're buying here

The difference between "buy the oil" and Legacy isn't a difference in oil. The No Warp, No Split guarantee exists on every karagach project, but the program sets its term: no program 1 year, Signature 2 years, Legacy 6 years. It can't be added retrospectively. And factory oiling of all six faces happens once in the life of a board — before installation, while the underside and the cut ends can still be reached. All the programs in detail →

3 · The frame — where a terrace's fate is decided

How frames are usually built — and what happens to them

The standard approach

Box section from the bazaar, cut and welded on site, then paint out of a tin. It is cheap, it is fast, and with a careful crew it looks fine for the first few seasons. We don't think this is a swindle: for a low deck you're willing to redo in five years it is a working solution and honestly worth its money.

The trouble is in three places, and all three are invisible on handover day:

  • The steel arrives already rusted. Paint over rust is a postponement, not protection.
  • Cutting and welding happen on site. Every cut and every weld is bare metal with no coating, and that's exactly where corrosion starts.
  • The paint goes on by brush, outdoors. Unevenly, over dust, with no surface preparation.

A few years on it looks the same every time: the frame settles, welds open, rust works up from below. The boards may still be beautiful — but what they are lying on has stopped holding.

How ours is built

  • Powder coating, in the workshop. Rolled C-profile, sandblasted, then powder coated. Sandblasting removes the mill scale and rust that nobody removes from bazaar box section.
  • Stainless steel fixings. Screws, bolts, clips. Connections rust first and fail first: a fraction of a per cent of the quote, and a decisive share of the lifespan.
  • The system adjusts for height. Ground settles, foundations move, and Almaty has earthquakes — the frame can be brought back to level rather than rebuilt.
  • The system can be dismantled and rebuilt. Elsewhere on your plot — or on a new plot if you move.

110,000 ₸/m², installation included. Plus the written No Sag, No Break guarantee for 6 years — regardless of which board and which program you chose. How the DeckKing system works →

What that means in practice

You choose two things. The rest is ours

Five components are five places where something can go wrong, and five separate contractors if you assemble a terrace piece by piece. The DeckKing system exists precisely so that you make two decisions instead of five.

Decision 1 · The species

Thermo-karagach, ash, oak, birch, pine. Color, grain, budget — the choice here really is yours, and we show you samples in the flesh.

Decision 2 · The care program

Color Care, Signature or Legacy. This sets how long the terrace holds its color and how many years the written geometry guarantee runs.

Everything else — the frame, the powder coating, the stainless fixings, installation, factory oiling, the scheduled visits, the re-levelling and the guarantees — is included and is our responsibility. One contract and one company accountable instead of five.

Common questions about terrace price
What does a terrace cost per square meter?

A client pays for three things: the frame, the timber and the care program. The DeckKing steel frame is 110,000 ₸/m² with installation already included, and it is never discounted because it is the load-bearing structure. Timber is costed separately: thermo-pine from 31,600 ₸, thermo-karagach Natur 55,000 ₸, Elite 67,500 ₸, thermo-ash Elite 66,365–75,670 ₸. The separate 25,000 ₸/m² rate applies in one case only — when we lay our boards or cladding onto somebody else's substructure.

What does a turnkey 50 m² terrace cost?

On the Elite bundle, 193,500 ₸/m² — 9,675,000 ₸ for 50 m². Inside that: the DeckKing steel frame installed at 110,000 ₸/m², thermo-karagach Elite boards at 67,500 ₸/m², and the six-year Legacy care program at 16,000 ₸/m² (its full value is 35,000 ₸/m²). Total package value is 300,000 ₸/m².

What drives the final figure?

Area is the main multiplier. Then the substructure: thermo-beam or the DeckKing steel frame. Then the complexity of the millwork — steps, abutments, hidden fixings, lighting. And the care program, which sets the term of the No Warp, No Split guarantee: 2 or 6 years.

What is a terrace price made of?

Five things: the timber, the oiling, the steel frame, the fixings and the installation. The board is roughly a third of the total and almost never the part that ruins the terrace four years later. The frame and the fixings cost less than the boards but decide whether the terrace lasts ten years: an ordinary frame is cut and welded on site and painted with a brush, and within a few years it sags and rusts. Then there is annual re-oiling, which is what holds the color.

How is DeckKing different from an ordinary welded frame?

In three ways. Members are cut and powder coated in the workshop rather than welded and brush-painted on site, so there is no bare metal at the cuts and welds. The fixings are stainless steel, because connections rust first and fail first. And the system adjusts for height, so after foundation settlement or an earthquake it is brought back to level by adjustment rather than rebuilding. The price is 110,000 ₸/m² with installation, and the No Sag, No Break guarantee runs 6 years.

Can the terrace be moved somewhere else?

Yes. DeckKing is bolted together, so the system can be dismantled and reassembled — elsewhere on the plot, or at a new address if you move house. A welded frame can't do this: removing it means cutting it apart. Dismantling and reassembly are costed separately, but the frame itself doesn't have to be bought again.

How long does a terrace take?

8–10 weeks as standard; express is 4 weeks at a premium. Material supply without installation is 60 days.
