  • 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 – Verulam

    Wooden Decks Durban – Verulam

    We recently had a good run of building wooden decks in Durban. With the arrival of summer and Christmas, wooden decks in Durban become a very popular item for consumers to spend their hard-earned cash. Despite trying to get jobs confirmed earlier on in the year, most of our work was confirmed in November and…

  • Wooden Decking Durban

    Wooden Decking Durban

    I haven’t written or posted an article on wooden decking in Durban here for a while. The main reason is that we have been extremely busy building wooden sundecks in Durban. It is quite odd to be this busy in the middle of winter. Normally people want their sundecks built-in summer and winter is traditionally…

  • Wooden Balau Deck Built in The Bluff – February 2012

    Wooden Balau Deck Built in The Bluff – February 2012

    The Bluff is a wonderful place for a wooden deck builder in Durban. A lot of the properties there have relatively steep gardens and lend themselves well to installing wooden decks. It allows the property owner to make use of land which would have otherwise not been usable. This property was very steep with a…

    Stairs and Balustrade – Durban North – July 2011

    This wooden stair job started off as just a few stairs to gain access to the granny flat from the other side of the garden and then progressed into a small balustrade on either side too. The client originally had a fence there of CCA pine slats which we had to remove and then build…

    Wooden Deck Built in Toti at a Guest House

    This was one of my first wooden decks in Durban that I undertook. The Guest House we built it for had just opened up the side of the dining room on the first floor with sliding doors and now wanted to extend the area by adding a deck of about 14m². It is always important…

  • Balau Screening in Cotswold Downs – June 2013

    Balau Screening in Cotswold Downs – June 2013

    We were called upon to quote on some balau screening in the Hillcrest, Durban area at a new development called Cotswold Downs. There were various aircons, heat pumps and gas bottles that needed to be clad or screened so as to conceal them. We used balau 30 x 40 struts or cleats attached to the…
