  • Wooden Stair Case Build Durban

    Wooden Stair Case Build Durban

    This wooden stair case build by The Wood Joint in Durban was a tricky one. The client was a committee member on the body corporate for a small block of flats in Durban. There were about 4 units in the block and the existing steel fire escape had rusted to a point where it was…

  • Wooden Sundeck, Toti, Durban

    Wooden Sundeck, Toti, Durban

    We built this wooden sundeck in Toti using CCA Pine, for the first time, as our substructure and decked it using balau deckboards. For a long time I have been using only balau as a substructure. But after some careful investigation I have accepted that a CCA treated pine substructure is as good if not…

  • Wooden Sundeck Installed – Oriel Place, Bluff, Durban

    Wooden Sundeck Installed – Oriel Place, Bluff, Durban

    This sundeck we installed in Durban was a relatively simple one to build. The client wanted to extend the area around the pool to create more space. It was a simple cleat, beam and joist system with a fascia beam on the front to attach the balustrade uprights to. There was one challenge in that…

  • Pool Deck Built in Northdene, Durban

    Pool Deck Built in Northdene, Durban

    This pool deck we built in Northdene was in excess of 100 square metres. Pool decks can be quite difficult to measure as the pool is sometimes not square and the area to be covered is often an irregular shape. Care should be taken to measure it properly to avoid an underestimate of area for…

  • Timber Stairs Built Hawaan Forest Estate, Durban

    Timber Stairs Built Hawaan Forest Estate, Durban

    These timber stairs I built-in Durban were the first stairs I built. This was towards the beginning of my deck building career and I had no idea really what to do. I had been involved in carpentry for a fair while so I had an understanding of timber, how it behaves and how to construct…

  • Timber Stairs Built in Hillcrest – February 2013

    Timber Stairs Built in Hillcrest – February 2013

    As a deck builder and timber stair builder in Durban I have had to learn how to build timber stairs the hard way, through trial and error (and a bit of Googling).  Timber stairs have always been a tricky one for me and I have battled to build them in the past. At first I…

  • Wooden Sundeck built in The Bluff Durban – Jan 2013

    Wooden Sundeck built in The Bluff Durban – Jan 2013

    After the last sundeck we built in Durban we were glad to have a small break. Temperatures reached about 38°C and even though we only had to sand and seal it, it was almost impossible to work in those conditions. This next sundeck in Durban measured about 5.7m wide along the front of the house…

  • Wooden Sundeck Built in Forest Hills Durban

    Wooden Sundeck Built in Forest Hills Durban

    This sundeck we built in Forest Hills Durban was an add-on to a deck we completed in 2012. The client initially built a 20 odd square metre deck off the front of his grant flat. It was then decided to extend the deck around the corner to tie up with the kitchen door. We needed…
