Wooden pool decking installed around swimming pools in Cape Town and the surrounding suburbs. Decking around a pool has demands that ordinary decking does not: constant splash exposure, chlorine or salt contact, and a surface that has to stay safe underfoot when wet. The timber choice and the fixing method both change because of it.

Most of our pool decks are built in Balau or Garapa, both dense hardwoods that handle water and sun without warping. We cover substructure options over concrete surrounds and sand, coping detail at the pool edge, non slip finishes, and what maintenance actually involves in a coastal climate. The articles below include recent installs with photographs, timber comparisons and pricing guidance.
