Nothing else feels quite like it.
Timber is the original decking material, and for good reason. Its grain, its warmth and the way it ages give a deck a character that is genuinely its own.
With the right species and a simple oiling routine, a timber deck stays beautiful for many years — and can be refinished again and again rather than replaced.
Warmth, character and craft.
Natural appearance
Real grain, real texture and a surface that no composite fully replicates.
Warmth
Timber is warm underfoot and softens the hard lines of contemporary architecture.
Character
The colour deepens and mellows with age, developing a patina unique to your home.
Design versatility
Cuts, curves, steps and planters — timber is adaptable to almost any shape.
A little care, for a lot of life.
Timber asks for more than composite — periodic oiling to keep its colour and protect it from the sun. It's a straightforward routine, and we walk you through it at handover.
The upside is real: a timber deck can be refinished over time rather than replaced, and many owners enjoy the way it gently changes with the seasons.

Timber decking, answered.
What timber do you use for decking?
We work with solid, durable timber species suited to outdoor use in South Africa. The exact species is chosen based on your location, exposure and the finish you want.
Does timber decking require maintenance?
Timber needs periodic oiling or sealing to keep its colour and protect it from the sun. We advise on a simple maintenance routine and can return to re-oil the deck when needed.
How long does timber decking last?
Well-installed and maintained timber decking lasts many years. Lifespan depends on the species, exposure and how consistently it is oiled. We help you choose the right timber for your climate.
Is timber or composite better for my home?
It depends on what you value. Timber offers natural warmth and character and can be refinished over time. Composite offers a consistent look with minimal upkeep. We help you decide during the quote process.
Can timber decking be used around a pool?
Yes, with the right species and finish. Timber around pools needs more frequent maintenance due to water exposure. We discuss the trade-offs so you can choose confidently.
