  • Sundeck Installed in Durban Bluff

    Sundeck Installed in Durban Bluff

    This sundeck I installed in Durban I actually subbed out because I had too many new builds on the go at the same time to be able to do it quickly enough. I use a very good subbie who charges reasonable rates, has his own transport and tools and skilled labour. He has actually been…

  • Deck Maintenance and Deck Sealing

    Deck Maintenance and Deck Sealing

    I was prompted to write an article on deck maintenance and deck sealing this week as we had a small quiet patch and as a “filler in” we sanded and sealed a picnic table, repaired a broken ball and claw foot and a leather couch and this reminded me to write this article. Deck maintenance…

    Sundeck Built at Pennington on the South Coast

    This was my first deck I built. I had been toying with the idea of building sundecks for some time, rather than trying to sell furniture which I had been making for some years.

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…

    “Summertime ….. And The Livin’ is Easy “… Or it CAN be !! …Yes, with the South African summer right on the doorstep now, what’s the best Christmas present you could give to your family (and yourself)?

  • Wooden Sun Decks

    Wooden Sun Decks

    Although wooden decks have always been popular as a method of construction it is becoming more and more popular as trends move towards more natural methods and finishes in construction while considering environmental impact and the foot print building creates.  Provided timber is sourced from sustainably managed forests, wooden decks are of course as natural as one can get.…
