🌞 What are the best decking materials for the South African climate?

Composite decking is highly recommended for its exceptional resistance to UV damage, moisture, and extreme temperature swings, requiring minimal maintenance. Hardwoods like Balau and Garapa are also excellent choices due to their high density and natural resistance to warping and insect damage when properly maintained.
📲 Ask About Materials

📄 Do I need a permit to build a deck in Mbombela or the Kruger area?

Yes, it’s essential to check and comply with local building codes and obtain necessary permits. Elevated decks (above 1.5m) often require a professionally designed plan and sign-off by an engineer for safety and compliance.
📲 Ask About Permits

🧼 How do I maintain my new deck?

Composite decks need only a monthly clean with soapy water and a hard-bristle brush. Wooden decks should be cleaned twice a year and sealed or stained to protect against weathering and UV exposure.
