    Balau Timber Pool Deck, La Lucia, Durban

    Here’s a wooden pool deck we built in La Lucia, Durban recently. In the gallery above you can see pics of the old deck and then pics of the new deck. The old wooden pool deck had started to rot at critical points. The reason for rot in many wooden decks is that the screw…

  • Wooden Pool Deck Building in Summerveld, Durban

    Wooden Pool Deck Building in Summerveld, Durban

    We built this wooden pool deck in Summerveld, Durban in July 2015. There were various challenges in this wooden pool deck build which tested our skills somewhat. Firstly the ground in Summerveld is very rocky, in fact in some areas it is just one large rock, and when digging you are actually making a small…

  • Wooden Pool Deck Built in Kloof, Durban

    This wooden deck was a simple pool deck that we built in Kloof, Durban. The pool had originally been built at an angle to the house which limited the available space between the house and pool. The client wanted to create a wooden deck that was parallel to the house so that he could maximise…

  • Balau vs CCA Treated Wooden Deck Durban

    Balau vs CCA Treated Wooden Deck Durban

    I often get asked about using balau as a substructure in a wooden deck. There are various pros and cons of using balau as a substructure in your wooden deck so I thought I would jot it down and in future I can direct clients here who want the ins and outs of using balau…

  • Wooden Deck, Umhlanga, Durban

    Wooden Deck, Umhlanga, Durban

    Here’s a wooden decking project we completed in Hawaan Forest Estate, Umhlanga, Durban. There were two houses right next door to each other so it was a bit easier on the pocket when it came to travel to site. The whole job was quite big too, in excess of 200 square metres of coverage, so…

  • Wooden deck in Massaranduba, Hillcrest, Durban

    Wooden deck in Massaranduba, Hillcrest, Durban

    This deck was built with Massaranduba. Although Massaranduba is about 30% more per square metre than balau the client insisted on it as it is a much harder and denser wood than balau. As such it will last longer. It has a slight reddish tinge to it. This deck is to be left unsealed so…

  • Wooden Decking Durban

    Wooden Decking Durban

    We built this wooden deck in Pinetown, Durban over a well so could not rest any joists on the well lid itself. Normally we would have raised the height of the deck enough to use 50 x 228 as joists. A 50 x 228 piece of wood can be spanned about 3m without any support…

  • Wooden Balau Walkway Umhlanga, Durban

    Wooden Balau Walkway Umhlanga, Durban

    This wooden balau walkway, or bridge, leading to the beach, needed to be replaced as the old one, although it was nearly 20 years old, had started sinking on one side. It had been built on beach sand so the concrete that had been used to set the upright posts had sunk over time into…
