Timber Decking Durban
Custom balau decks and outdoor living spaces designed around Durban homes, pools and gardens.
The Wood Joint designs and builds timber decks across Durban and the Upper Highway, including Kloof, Hillcrest, Waterfall, Westville, Umhlanga, La Lucia and Durban North.
A Good Deck Starts Below the Boards
The visible hardwood surface is only one part of the structure. Long-term performance depends on the supports, beams, joists, ventilation, drainage, fixings and the way every interface with the house, pool or ground is handled.
Our typical construction uses H3 CCA-treated structural pine above ground, with H4-treated posts where timber must enter or remain in contact with the ground. Balau is commonly used for the surface because it is dense, durable and well suited to exposed outdoor use.

Materials and Construction
- H3 CCA-treated pine for appropriately exposed structural members
- H4-treated timber for ground-contact applications where required
- Balau hardwood deck boards as our most common surface
- Joist and bearer spacing selected for the design and board thickness
- Attention to drainage, airflow and separation from moisture traps
- Durable fixings and neat finishing
What We Need to Start
Send photographs, your suburb and approximate dimensions. Tell us whether the deck will be at ground level, around a pool, attached to the house or raised above the garden. Garrick can then advise whether a site visit is needed before quoting.
