Mahikeng notes on decks, finishes & trims
Sun is the main enemy of outdoor timber in Mahikeng, with strong UV and hot afternoons drying decks out fast. Braai decks and stoeps in Golf View and on plots around Lichtenburg do best with treated pine or hardwood that is oiled or sealed regularly. Termites and borer favour untreated wood, so ask about the treatment class. Skirting and trims are usually easy to source locally for indoor jobs.
What lies underfoot in Mahikeng
Mahikeng sits on dry bushveld where summer days are hot, storms arrive in the afternoon and winter nights can turn cold and bone dry. That swing makes boards shrink and swell, so gaps at the walls matter. Much of the housing is face-brick on concrete slabs, from older government-era houses in Mmabatho to newer homes in Lomanyaneng, plus farmhouses out towards Zeerust and Lichtenburg. Termites are active in this part of the country, so a suspended pine floor needs checking before anyone sands it. Fitters here are few, and bigger jobs often draw crews from further away. Ask whether travel is built into the quote.
Typical wooden decking requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a timber deck off the lounge or stoep for braais, pots and sundowners
- Schools, halls, gyms and studios: school and church decks built with close joist spacing for heavy foot traffic
- Offices, practices and showrooms: a staff terrace or entrance deck built from hardwood to take daily foot traffic
