About The Wood Joint
Durban timber construction shaped by practical experience, sound materials and attention to what happens below the finished surface.
The Wood Joint designs and builds timber decks, pool decks, pergolas, balustrades, screens, stairs, walkways and related outdoor timber structures across Durban and the Upper Highway.
Talk Directly to Garrick
Garrick Dunstan works directly with clients from the first discussion and site assessment through quotation and construction. That makes it easier to deal with unusual levels, existing structures and practical design decisions without passing the project through layers of sales staff.
How We Build
The appearance of a completed deck matters, but the unseen structural work determines how it will perform. We pay particular attention to supports, beam and joist layout, treatment class, drainage, ventilation, ground contact and the way the structure connects to the house or pool.
Treated Substructures
H3 CCA-treated pine is commonly used for above-ground outdoor framing, with H4-treated timber used where ground contact requires it.
Balau Decking
Balau is our most common deck-board timber because its density and natural durability suit exposed outdoor surfaces.
Site-Specific Design
Every structure is measured and designed around the actual property, levels, access and intended use.
Real Work, Documented Over Time
This website contains more than a decade of completed projects and construction photographs from Durban, Kloof, Hillcrest, Waterfall, Westville, Umhlanga, La Lucia, Durban North and surrounding areas. The archive lets prospective clients see not only finished photographs, but often the structure and problem-solving behind them.
