For builders and DIYers across New Zealand and Australia, the way we build decks is evolving—and it’s all thanks to the Nuraspike system. Designed in New Zealand, manufactured in Vietnam and now exported globally, Nuraspikes offer a smarter, faster and more efficient alternative to traditional concrete footings. Whether you're working on a backyard renovation, a low-profile deck or a commercial outdoor space, this innovative solution is transforming outdoor construction.
What Are Nuraspikes?
Nuraspikes are 500mm galvanised steel spikes, powder-coated for durability, that serve as deck footings. Instead of digging holes or pouring concrete, you simply drive them into the ground with a sledgehammer. They’re suitable for most soil types, making them a versatile choice for Kiwi and Australian landscapes—from coastal properties to suburban backyards.
How the System Works
The Nuraspike deck footing system consists of two components:
· Nuraspike: The deck footing driven flush into the ground.
· Nurajack: A height-adjustable pedestal placed on top of the spike, featuring a self-levelling head.
Once installed, the Nurajack compensates for uneven terrain, allowing you to build a perfectly level deck frame without the need for precision groundwork. This makes the system ideal for sloped or irregular sites, low-profile decks or outdoor living spaces—all with minimal disruption.
Why Builders, DIYers and Landscapers Love It
Quick Installation
No digging. No concrete. No delays. Nuraspikes enable same-day construction by eliminating the need for traditional footings. Simply hammer the spikes into the ground, place the Nurajacks on top and start building your deck—saving time, labour and back-breaking effort.
Cost-Effective
By eliminating the need for excavation and concrete, Nuraspikes reduce both material and labour costs. For DIYers, this means fewer tools, less mess and no need to hire heavy machinery. For builders, it means faster turnaround and more efficient job sites.
Adjustable and Versatile
Nurajacks allow for precise height adjustments, making it easy to create level surfaces even on challenging terrain. Whether you're building over grass, dirt or uneven ground, the self-levelling head ensures a level deck and professional finish.
DIY-Friendly
Even if you’ve never built a deck before, the Nuraspike system makes it achievable. With no concrete to mix and no holes to dig, the process is straightforward and beginner-friendly.
