Decks, finishes & trims in Tzaneen: local notes
Decks in Tzaneen live with rain, shade and algae, so a sealed or oiled hardwood deck with space between boards and good drainage will last better than a closed-in one. Lodges near Magoebaskloof and homes in Politsi often prefer balau or garapa for strength. Composite saves on upkeep in shaded, wet spots. Cleaning a deck each season is cheaper than repairing rot, and skirting in damp rooms should be sealed on all sides.
What lies underfoot in Tzaneen
Tzaneen is the damp end of Limpopo. The Lowveld around the town is warm and humid with heavy summer rain, and the hills of Haenertsburg and Magoebaskloof above it are cooler and often misty. Boards here take up moisture more easily than on the dry plateau, and mould, borer and termites are all worth planning for. Housing ranges from town homes and farmhouses on avocado and mango estates to lodges and holiday cottages in the forests. Because the area is so spread out, floor layers often cover long distances between orchards and towns. Give timber extra time to settle, and ask how the fitter handles damp-prone rooms.
