Western Cape notes on decks, finishes & trims
Cape decks battle wind, UV and winter rain, so hardwood and composite are favoured, with regular oiling. Wine farms around Stellenbosch and Paarl build large entertaining decks, and Llandudno, Camps Bay and Hermanus often have timber decks facing the sea. Pool decks in Constantia and Bishopscourt need slip resistance, and stainless fixings are wise near the coast.
Western Cape: climate, homes and floors
The Western Cape has wet winters and dry summers, with strong wind and a mild, Mediterranean pattern. Timber copes well when boards are acclimatised, but damp in winter can lift old floors and cause mould in poorly ventilated rooms. Cape Town has Victorian terraces, Cape Dutch homes and 1960s houses on pine, and newer estates and apartments on concrete. Stellenbosch and Paarl farmhouses often carry old yellowwood or stinkwood floors worth restoring. A strong trade of restorers, joiners and decking specialists works across the Winelands, the Garden Route and the Atlantic coast.
Who asks for composite decking around Western Cape, most often first:
- Homeowners: a patio or stoep deck that needs no oiling and stays tidy in full sun
- Flats and townhouses: a courtyard or balcony deck in light boards that suits the body corporate's rules
- Guesthouses, lodges and restaurants: lodge and restaurant decks in solid boards that stand up to chairs and spills
