What to know locally in Western Cape
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.
Floors and homes in Western Cape
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.
Typical pool decking requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a grooved timber surround for a family pool, soft underfoot and quick to dry
- Flats and townhouses: a courtyard plunge pool deck that meets the body corporate's rules
- Guesthouses, lodges and restaurants: guesthouse and lodge pool decks in balau, built with grip for wet feet
