The main pool decking page explains the types, the preparation and the costs in more detail.
Decks, finishes & trims in Kimberley: local notes
Decks and stoeps in Kimberley bake in summer sun, so oil or seal them each year and use tough timber such as balau or treated pine. Flat-roofed verandas on older homes in Belgravia suit simple boards fixed over a proper frame. Termites are a threat, so ask about treatment class and keep timber off bare soil. Polishing and cleaning of old floors is best quoted per job after seeing the condition.
Floors and homes in Kimberley
Kimberley is old by South African standards, and much of its floor work is about looking after what was built long ago. Victorian and Edwardian houses in Belgravia and Kenilworth often have suspended timber floors with airbricks beneath, topped with pine or Oregon boards that have stood for decades. The air is dry, summers are hot and winter nights are cold, so boards open at the joints and finishes wear thin. Termites and borer have had a long time to find those floors. New building is smaller than in the big cities, so most local work is repair, sanding and careful matching of old boards. Specialist restorers are rare and may travel in.
The requests we see from Kimberley usually come from:
- Homeowners: a grooved timber surround for a family pool, soft underfoot and quick to dry
- Landlords and letting agents: a pine pool deck that lifts a rental without heavy upkeep or special care
- Schools, halls, gyms and studios: a school or gym pool surround with slip-resistant boards and safe, rounded edges
