  • Wooden Decks, Waterfall, Durban

    We recently finished this deck at a client’s house who had been doing some other major renovations.  It was fairly simple deck.  The only part that needed careful planning was to ensure that the top of the deck fitted in below the window sill on the one side and flush with the door on the…

  • Wooden Balau Deck built in Cotswold Downs, Hillcrest

    This wooden balau deck built in Cotswold Downs in July 2019 was built primarily to cover the JoJo tanks which were being housed below.

  • Wooden balau deck built in Hillcrest

    This wooden balau deck was built in Hillcrest. It was built on top of existing slasto.

  • 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…

  • Wooden Deck Hillcrest February 2019

    This client in Hillcrest had this irregular shaped “dead space” that she wanted to deck. Because it doesn’t get much sun, it is always wet and muddy. So we decked it in balau deck boards. The contrast between white paving and wooden decking works very well and the actual shape of the deck makes it…

  • 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…

  • 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…
