Secunda notes on decks, finishes & trims
Decks in Secunda and Kinross are exposed to harsh Highveld sun and frost, so look for good drainage and a finish that can be recoated. Treated pine is common for budget stoeps, while composite suits owners who do not want yearly maintenance. Bethal and Leandra farm properties may want larger timber decks, where posts in the ground need the H4 treatment grade.
What lies underfoot in Secunda
Secunda is a planned town, built in the 1970s around a large petrochemical plant, so streets are regular and the housing stock is fairly uniform. Many homes are brick on concrete slabs, and lots of older houses were built to similar plans, which makes floor work easy to price. The Highveld climate means dry, cold winters and storms in summer. A large share of the demand comes from people working at the plant, who rent or buy, and from landlords who want a quick, lasting refit between tenants. Laminate and vinyl are the common answers, with wood used in some better homes.
The requests we see from Secunda usually come from:
- Landlords and letting agents: a deck that tenants cannot neglect, with no oiling or sanding between leases
- Homeowners: a patio or stoep deck that needs no oiling and stays tidy in full sun
- Builders, developers and renovators: low-upkeep decks priced per square metre and laid on a frame once levels are set
