Decks, finishes & trims in Richards Bay: local notes
Decks near the lagoon in Meerensee and along the Mtunzini coast face salt, sun and storms. Composite boards suit pool areas and need little upkeep, while balau and treated pine need regular oiling and a close look at fixings, which rust faster at the coast. Guesthouse decks see heavy use and should be built with a firm structure. Cleaning is needed more often under trees and near the water.
What lies underfoot in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a hot, humid port town on the Zululand coast, with lagoons, mangroves and a lot of industry around the harbour. Salt in the air and strong summer humidity make timber swell, so boards should be properly acclimatised and sealed on all faces. Most houses in Meerensee and Arboretum are newer brick homes on concrete slabs, and there are fewer old suspended floors than in older cities. Guesthouses, lodges and offices tied to the port and smelters create steady commercial work. Some suppliers and fitters travel up from Durban or work from Empangeni, so lead times are worth asking about.
Typical wooden floor polishing requests in the area come from:
- Builders, developers and renovators: a final clean and polish on boards after the builders have finished
- Homeowners: a buff and fresh coat that brings dull pine or parquet back without a full sand
- Guesthouses, lodges and restaurants: regular polishing of lodge lounges and restaurant floors that see heavy foot traffic
