  • Wooden Stair Case Build Durban

    Wooden Stair Case Build Durban

    This wooden stair case build by The Wood Joint in Durban was a tricky one. The client was a committee member on the body corporate for a small block of flats in Durban. There were about 4 units in the block and the existing steel fire escape had rusted to a point where it was…

  • 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…

  • Wooden Sundeck, Toti, Durban

    Wooden Sundeck, Toti, Durban

    We built this wooden sundeck in Toti using CCA Pine, for the first time, as our substructure and decked it using balau deckboards. For a long time I have been using only balau as a substructure. But after some careful investigation I have accepted that a CCA treated pine substructure is as good if not…

  • Wooden Sundeck Installed – Oriel Place, Bluff, Durban

    Wooden Sundeck Installed – Oriel Place, Bluff, Durban

    This sundeck we installed in Durban was a relatively simple one to build. The client wanted to extend the area around the pool to create more space.

  • Timber Stairs Built Hawaan Forest Estate, Durban

    Timber Stairs Built Hawaan Forest Estate, Durban

    These timber stairs I built-in Durban were the first stairs I built. This was towards the beginning of my deck building career and I had no idea really what to do. I had been involved in carpentry for a fair while so I had an understanding of timber, how it behaves and how to construct…

  • 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…

  • Wooden Pergola La Lucia – Durban

    Wooden Pergola La Lucia – Durban

    Wooden Pergola, Durban This pergola was built for a client of mine in La Lucia, Durban. They were on of my first clients and have since continued to come back to me for other work ranging from sundecks to doors, bars etc. Their pergola is still in good condition and we have since been back…

  • Timber Deck Installed in Queensburgh, Durban

    Timber Deck Installed in Queensburgh, Durban

    This was our second deck we installed in Durban and this time around we got the spec right and didn’t spend all our money on timber. The deck was pretty much on ground level but still required normal 30 x 102 joists as it was not supported by a concrete base. Should there have been…
