  • Deck refurbishment in Kloof

    This was an old deck in Kloof that we refurbished recently. It had balau deck boards on top of a balau structure. Of the 11 joists that made up the structure only 2 were still in a fair condition. The rest had rotted and we needed to replace them. Please see this article on the…

  • Balau Timber Deck – Westville

    Here’s some before pics and some after pics of a deck in Westville that had rotted and was removed and replaced. The original deck had been built using H2 CCA Treated pine as a structure and what looked like balau deck boards and H2 CCA treated timber was used in the balustrade. See here for…

  • Wooden Decking in Ballito and Umhlanga

    It would seem that most timber decking is taking place in Umhlanga and Ballito in the greater Durban area in 2019. Most other areas have quietened off considerably and I can only assume it is uncertainty in the market. Being officially in recession still, elections looming in May 2019, a new president, load shedding and…

  • Wooden Deck Waterfall September 2018

    The video here shows the deck we built from the neighbours yard with the mist rolling down the hill in the early morning. Besides being an incredible sight to see one can see how this garden lends itself to a wooden deck. The deck was built square off the house towards the boundary fence which…

  • Wooden Deck in Scottburgh, South Coast KZN

    This was a wooden deck built in balau for a client who had opened a Bed and Breakfast on the coast. As you can see form the pics the wooden deck was built in the front of the property overlooking the sea. There were of course strict time lines in which we had to complete…

  • Balau Wooden Deck, Kloof Durban

      Here’s a straight forward wooden balau deck we built in Kloof, Durban in October 2018. There were a few angles that had to be cut precisely to finish it neatly but other than that the deck was straight forward to build. We used an H3 and H4 CCA Treated pine substructure. Because the pine…

  • Wooden Balau Deck Built Waterfall, Durban July 2018

    This wooden deck we built in Waterfall, Durban was part of a new build at Focus on Ithemba along Blessing Ninela Road, Waterfall. They were building a new boardroom and office complex and part of the design was a wooden exterior deck. The job was referred to us by Mass Landscapes, Miles Steenhuysen, who was…

  • Balau pool deck and walkway – Kloof, Durban

    We engaged with Masslandscapes, a landscaper and garden designer (082 468 3759) on this balau pool deck project in Kloof, Durban to provide a solution for the client who wanted an area alongside their pool that they could utilise more. Before the project started there was the standard paved area of about 1m alongside the…

  • Used Balau Balustrade Material – Durban

    Second hand or Used Balau Balustrade Material available for re-sale in Durban. This balau balustrade has been removed from a site and replaced with another balustrade.  The balau wood is still very good as can be seen from the piece that has been machined.  It is still in the panels you see in the pics…

  • Balau wooden screens installed in Umhlanga Durban

    We installed these balau wooden screens in Umhlanga in Durban in early 2018. The brief was to provide some privacy to the upstairs verandah. There was originally a glass balustrade on this verandah and being at the end of a cul-de-sac this property’s verandah was very visible to vehicles and people driving or walking to…
