DeckLab Decks & Pergolas

How is Decklab rethinking the construction of decks and pergolas?

From foundation to final design, Decklab rethinks every step to deliver sturdy, durable, and perfectly executed decks and pergolas—no concrete, no waiting, no compromises.

Stability without concrete: our signature

We adapt the foundation to the project—never the other way around.
For pergolas: foundation enabling a structure that is positioned with millimeter precision.

For raised terraces, it is once again the Foundation screws will be the right solution; still no concrete!

Ground-level terraces are laid on polymer pedestals that can be adjusted to the nearest millimeter.

In all cases; an installation clean, fast and respectful of your garden.

Built to last — designed for the Swiss climate

Our structures are designed to withstand Swiss climate.

We select materials known for their durability, including aluminum structures, if necessary, offering a warranty of up to 25 years depending on the decking chosen.

We integrate innovative solutions:
– blades with micro side slope for better water drainage
– polymer studs adjustable to the millimeter
– aluminum bases depending on location (extremely damp area with no ventilation possible)

Sustainable development, today and tomorrow.

Decklab, Design that lasts

From the initial idea to the final installation, we transform your project into a solid, elegant, and durable reality.

Why is concrete outdated?

Your garden deserves better than a construction site

Our concrete-free foundations are a modern and precise alternative:
— no trenches
— no excavation
— no drying time

Every project begins with a accurate reading of your land.
For our pergolas, we use electronically controlled foundation screws that measure anchoring force in real time.
For our terraces, we favor structures on adjustable pedestals or aluminum frames that can be adjusted to the nearest millimeter, regardless of the slope or nature of the ground.

Each support is checked to ensure the required stability.
This tailored approach provides assurance that standard concrete foundations cannot match.

A Decklab foundation can be installed quickly, without digging or formwork.
The ground remains intact, the site clean, and the environmental impact minimal.

This method significantly reduces costs, delays, and nuisances by avoiding heavy machinery and additional days required for concrete drying.

What if your project evolves?
Our facilities can be adjusted, moved, or removed, without leaving any traces.

Digging, formwork, pouring, waiting... Concrete involves long, messy, and disproportionate construction projects for a patio or pergola.
It permanently alters your terrain and makes any future modifications complex and costly.

Our concrete-free solutions offer an alternative modern, stable, environmentally friendly, and fast.
They protect the soil, improve precision, and offer the flexibility to adapt your landscaping over time.

Your questions, our answers

Yes—and especially smarter.
We monitor bearing capacity in real time electronically by measuring the resistance of foundation screws.
Each anchor is adapted to your soil, ensuring long-lasting stability without the risk of subsidence.

Every project is unique.
The price obviously depends on the materials, surface area, design (special cutouts, decorative frames, steps, built-in benches, etc.), and accessibility of the site.
For terraces, standard rates vary. on average from CHF 285/m² to CHF 520/m².

Our first meeting is free of charge.
A free estimate can then be provided based on your needs.

If you would like a detailed quote accompanied by a 3D rendering, this service is subject to a fee (generally between CHF 150 and CHF 500), but fully deducted in case of an order.

Wood offers warmth and a natural feel; composite requires minimal maintenance.
In both cases, UV rays affect the color over time. Impregnating or treating wooden decking helps to maintain its attractive color.
While composite does not rot, wood can be susceptible to it. Used for thousands of years, it remains a reliable material. What makes the difference is the design of the structure, the way the wood is installed and arranged. This is why it is so important to have your wooden deck installed by a carpenter.

Samples can be provided to help you make your choice.

It depends on the size of the project and your municipality.
We advise you in accordance with local regulations.
If a permit is required, we can provide you with information.
