A wooden deck is a home improvement that adds beauty and value to your residence. A deck is a wooden platform, capable of supporting weight, generally constructed outdoors around swimming pools, patios and entertainment areas. Most decks that are higher than 1 metre off the ground is usually enclosed with wooden balustrades for safety. A deck is the perfect eye catching value creator and entertainment beauty for all homes.

While working in the landscaping industry for many years we saw the need for quality cost effective decking and decking maintenance in the Gauteng region. Many of our clients complained of poorly constructed decks in their gardens and poor service delivery and guarantee. Elegant Decking has been constructing solid hardwood decks according to strict building regulations since, and our first quality deck was erected in 2006. We also specialise in quality pergolas and balustrades.

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 2 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
