  • Wooden Pool Deck Built in Westville, Durban

    Wooden Pool Deck Built in Westville, Durban

    Here was a nice size wooden sun deck, or pool deck, we built of approximately 60m². I say a nice size because at that size one can reduce the costs slightly, pass a saving on to the client, and make a little bit more money on the job. This wooden sun deck was built around…

  • Balau Wooden Sundeck Built in Kloof, Durban

    Balau Wooden Sundeck Built in Kloof, Durban

    Here’s a balau wooden sundeck we’ve just built on Kloof, just inland of Durban. We used a 19 x 90 balau deck board on this wooden sun deck at the client’s request. We normally use a 19 x 68 balau deck board as they are considerably less expensive per square metre than the 19 x…

  • Wooden Sun Decks Durban – Westville

    Wooden Sun Decks Durban – Westville

    This wooden sun deck we built in Westville Durban was designed to try to maximise outdoor space. The house we built it at had very little outdoor space as it was situated on a steep plot. You can see from the pics that before we built the wooden sun deck, the garden had only a…

  • Wooden Sun Deck Repairs – Durban

    Wooden Sun Deck Repairs – Durban

    Besides our main activity of sundeck building in Durban, we also maintain and repair sundecks. Wooden sun deck repairs need to be performed from time to time and the sooner they are attended to the better.

  • CCA Treated Substructures in Wooden Sundecks – Durban

    CCA Treated Substructures in Wooden Sundecks – Durban

    As I’ve mentioned in previous articles we use a H3 CCA treated pine substructure which the suppliers offer a 50 year guarantee on. In order to activate that guarantee we need to adhere to best practices and there are a few things that we need to do, and document by way of pics.  Although all…

  • Timber Decks Durban – Umhlanga

    Timber Decks Durban – Umhlanga

    This existing timber deck in Umhlanga Durban had reached a point of no return and our recommendation to the client was that we remove it and replace it. It’s never a good thing to hear that you must throw it away and buy a new one because it can’t be fixed, but often wooden decks…

  • Wooden Sundecks – Durban North

    Wooden Sundecks – Durban North

    We completed these wooden sundeck jobs in Durban North last year during our busy decking season. There were two decks we built. They were both quite simple in that they were low-level wooden sundecks coming off the granny flat, which had just been refurbished measuring 5m x 2.2m. The first one was a relatively small…

  • Wooden Screens, Pergolas, Decks and Gates Durban

    Wooden Screens, Pergolas, Decks and Gates Durban

    We were asked to quote on wooden screens, wooden pergolas, wooden decks and wooden gates on a new build in Prestondale, an area north of Umhlanga, at a development called Izinga Ridge. We originally quoted in about June 2013 and the work was awarded to us for s start date of about 1 November 2013.…

  • Wooden Decks Durban – Bluff

    Wooden Decks Durban – Bluff

    This wooden deck in Durban was the second phase of a job we started at the beginning of the year. We were originally asked to build a deck off the main bedroom. First we had to remove the aluminium window and install an aluminium sliding door. I always suggest that clients do this first so…

    Wooden Decks Durban – Paradise Valley Pinetown

    This is a follow-up article on a previous article I wrote about a high level wooden deck we are building at Paradise Valley in Pinetown Durban. Click here for the original article. The poles proved to be quite a story getting up. We were 5 people on the day. The poles were 9m long and…
