Building principles:

When considering a deck, whether being raised or over an existing paved or lawn area, the following building principles should always be applied:

  • We only use top quality decking material
  • All decking screws are non-abrasive
  • Special care is taken to seal end cuts on timber decking
  • Double joists are used where end cuts meet to ensure proper fastening and preventing splitting ends
  • A deck should have a min of 3 layers of sealant depending of type of wood used.
  • All grass under the deck is removed and we use weed guard under the frame to prevent any unsightly weeds and grass from growing again

The Deck Frame

A proper deck frame is the heart of the deck. Without a professionally installed frame, the deck won’t last no matter what decking material is used. We only construct a frame under the following strict guidelines:

  • We only used H3 & H4 CCA treated pine according to SABS standards
  • All end cuts are treated
  • All metal fasteners and brackets are galvanized and non abrasive
  • All poles are cemented into ground and allowance is made for proper drainage
  • All top poles are fitted with gang nails to prevent splitting
  • When fitted on flat surfaces a space is allowed under the timber for water drainage
