  • 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

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Cheap Wooden Deck Builders in Durban

Being South African we all should know the Afrikaans saying “goedkoop is deurkoop”. Or loosely translated to English “you get…
