Wooden Decking

The natural character of solid timber compliments perfectly any garden, pool and outdoor entertainment areas. Whether creating a patio that adjoins your house, a poolside deck, or a balcony for sunbathing, the beauty and appeal of solid timber will remain for years to come.

Wooden Deck Design

A deck can be installed to adjoin your home, surround your pool, extend out from the first floor, or simply as a freestanding feature. Regardless of the implementation, the natural character of the solid timber will blend seamlessly with the landscape of your garden.

Timber

African Decks has a policy of sourcing and using only the best materials for any job, no matter how big or small. We highly recommend African hardwoods, as they are accustomed to the harsh climatic conditions of South Africa. African Decks can of course supply and install any other timber that a client may choose.

Installation

Our teams are all qualified and experienced carpenters. For exceptional quality, they use traditional decking techniques in constructing your wooden/timber deck. No corners are cut; the quality and durability of the finished deck is paramount.

Construction Stages:

Measuring and staking out site.
Pour concrete foundations for pillars.
Super-structure installation; gum poles and support beams.
Sub-structure installation; joists.
Wooden deck surface fitted.
Rails, benches, stairs, and other specified items.
Sanding and sealing of the wooden deck.

The construction of a home deck of average size, will take approximately four days.

Maintenance

Although the African hardwoods will last for many years in the open environment, it is always advisable to treat the deck from time to time. There are two traditional treatment options. Regular oiling of the deck, required approximately every 40 days, and sealing of the deck with a polyurethane based sealant, which should be re-applied approximately every 6 months.
