  • 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 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…

  • Solid Wood Flooring Installer Durban

    Solid Wood Flooring Installer Durban

      Solid wood flooring in Durban, and for that matter throughout the world, has risen again in popularity over the last few years.

  • Wooden Sundeck Constructed in Toti Durban

    Wooden Sundeck Constructed in Toti Durban

    This wooden sundeck we constructed in Durban was a low-level deck which was barely off ground level.

  • 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…
