What to know locally in Mpumalanga
Lodge and guesthouse decks around Hazyview, Sabie and Graskop face heat, heavy rain and mist, so oiled hardwood or composite lasts better than bare pine. Use treated posts in contact with the ground and let fitters leave drainage gaps between boards. Pool decks in the Lowveld need slip resistance, and timber merchants in Mbombela can supply balau, garapa and treated pine for local builds.
Floors and homes in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga runs from the cool Highveld around Middelburg and Ermelo down the escarpment to the warm, humid Lowveld near Mbombela and Hazyview. A board that behaves on the plateau can cup in the Lowveld, so ask where the timber was stored and how it was dried. Housing ranges from mine and power station houses in the coalfields to lodges, guesthouses and farmhouses with thatch overhead and verandas outside. Many lodge owners want hardwood and decks that cope with heat, rain and insects. Local carpenters and small flooring firms do most of the work, with larger jobs sometimes quoted from Gauteng.
Typical wooden decking requests in the area come from:
- Guesthouses, lodges and restaurants: lodge and guesthouse decks with balau boards for breakfast tables and loungers
- Homeowners: a timber deck off the lounge or stoep for braais, pots and sundowners
- Builders, developers and renovators: decks priced per square metre and built once the garden levels are set
