Cost to build 8×8 deck

The cost to build an 8×8 deck can vary greatly depending on a number of factors. The size of the deck, whether you are using treated lumber or composite material and the complexity of your design can all affect the price.

The average cost of building a wooden 8×8 deck is $10,000; however, there are many options for adding features that will increase the price. For example, if you want to add an arbor or pergola over your new deck then expect to pay an additional $1,000 – $2,000.

If you are planning to use composite materials such as Trex® or TimberTech® then expect to pay less than if you use pressure-treated wood. If you plan on using treated lumber then expect to pay around $7 per square foot for materials alone.

Additional costs may include:

Permit fees – these vary by location so check with your local authorities before starting construction

Labor costs – labor costs will depend on how skilled your contractor is and how complex your design is

Materials – if you choose not to use pressure treated wood then expect higher costs for materials alone
