Composite Decking Advantages

  • Durability: Composite decking is designed to offer maximum durability. It is fade resistant, less susceptible to staining, scratching and molding. It will not rot, warp or crack. It is splinter proof and insect-proof making it safer and more comfortable for families with pets and children.

  • Low-maintenance: With composite decking, you won’t need to worry about sanding, painting or staining. The occasional once over with simple solution of soap and water is all you need to maintain your composite decking for ages.

  • Value: Whilst the initial cost outlay of composite decking can be higher than other types of wooden decking / pool decking, when one factors in the cost of ongoing maintenance required with a wooden deck, composite decking can end up paying for its-elf in a short space of time.

  • Aesthetics: With various high definition wood grain patterns and a selection of colours to choose from, composite decking looks and feels as natural as wooden decking. We can also offer you a selection of composite accessories, such as staircases, gate, railings and other items to match your composite decking.

How long does a timber deck last in Cape Town?2026-02-18T09:56:11+00:00

A treated pine deck lasts 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance (resealing every 2 to 3 years). Hardwood decks – Balau, Garapa, and Massaranduba – last 25 to 30 years with periodic oiling. Cape Town’s coastal climate demands quality timber and proper treatment to maximise lifespan. The substructure quality and installation workmanship are equally important. A well-built hardwood deck can outlast the home it’s attached to.

What is the best wood for decking in Cape Town?2026-02-18T09:57:32+00:00

The best wood depends on your budget and priorities. For affordability, treated pine offers excellent value at R1,700 to R2,200 per m² installed. For durability and low maintenance, Balau and Garapa are the top choices in Cape Town – both resist moisture, insects, and weathering exceptionally well. Garapa offers a golden tone while Balau provides a richer reddish-brown colour. Read more about decking wood prices in South Africa and explore our wooden decking options.

Is composite decking cheaper than timber?2026-02-18T09:58:25+00:00

Not necessarily. Entry-level composite decking starts around R1,800 per m² – similar to treated pine. Premium composite ranges up to R4,500 per m². The advantage of composite is near-zero maintenance, which can make it cheaper over 15 to 20 years. However, timber offers natural warmth, can be refinished, and often costs less upfront. Compare both options with our composite decking range or get a quote for both materials.

How much does timber decking cost per m² in Cape Town?2026-02-18T09:59:13+00:00

Do I need council approval for a deck in Cape Town?2026-02-18T14:21:56+00:00

It depends on the size, height, and location of your deck. The City of Cape Town may require building plan submissions for elevated decks, large structures, or decks that affect boundary setbacks. Ground-level decks under a certain size may be exempt, but it’s always worth confirming. Cape Decking can handle plan submissions and council approvals on your behalf - just ask when you request your quote.
