Decks, finishes & trims in Benoni: local notes
Decks are what Benoni is known for, particularly near the lake and on the bigger plots of Rynfield and Putfontein. Balau and garapa handle sun and storms well, while treated pine is cheaper and suits garden platforms. Composite is an option for low upkeep around a pool. Posts in the ground need H4 treatment, and a builder should show you how water drains off the boards.

Rynfield, Northmead and Lakefield have large older stands, spacious stoeps and gardens, and homes of different ages, from timber-floored houses to later slab-built ones.

Requests lean towards outdoor timber, braai decks, and sanding old pine or kiaat. Fitters and deck builders here are used to working on larger plots with long driveways and mature trees.
