    Wooden Deck and Stairs Built in Umhlanga, Durban

    This wooden deck we built for a client in Umhlanga, Durban was a suspended wooden deck about 2.8m off the ground.

    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 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…

    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…
