  • 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…

  • Deck Refurbishments

    Deck Refurbishments

    I have done quite a few deck refurbishment jobs and as mentioned in a previous article it is work I would rather stay away from. However, especially in the early days, it was necessary to do these jobs to keep paying the bills. Also it has provided me with a solid understanding of what not…

  • Stairs and Balustrade – Durban North – July 2011

    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

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…

  • Wooden Stairs Built in Cowies Hill, Durban

    Wooden Stairs Built in Cowies Hill, Durban

    These wooden stairs we built in were quite interesting because the client had a dining room which was raised about 600 from the patio outside. He wanted to be able to access the dining room through the new sliding doors. So we designed a small landing and some stairs to fit snugly in on one…

  • Wooden Sundeck Built in Gillitts – April 2013

    Wooden Sundeck Built in Gillitts – April 2013

    This was our second deck we built in Durban using CCA pine as a substructure. I can confirm that there is a substantial cost saving using pine as a substructure and provided it is CCA treated to the correct Hazard Level (H level), then it is guaranteed by the supplier and manufacturer against rot and…
