  • Wooden Deck Built in Toti at a Guest House

    Wooden Deck Built in Toti at a Guest House

    This was one of my first wooden decks in Durban that I undertook. The Guest House we built it for had just opened up the side of the dining room on the first floor with sliding doors and now wanted to extend the area by adding a deck of about 14m². It is always important…

  • Wooden Balustrade Built in Everton – May 2013

    Wooden Balustrade Built in Everton – May 2013

    This wooden balustrade we built in Everton Kloof, Durban was for an established client of ours that we have done various amounts of work for in the past. She had had some stairs built in brick and concrete down the bank to access the lower level of her property. We had to wait a few…

  • Balau Screening in Cotswold Downs – June 2013

    Balau Screening in Cotswold Downs – June 2013

    We were called upon to quote on some balau screening in the Hillcrest, Durban area at a new development called Cotswold Downs.

    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…

  • 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…

  • 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…
