Handcrafted Coastal Decks Built to Last in Knysna

Outdoor living with lagoon, forest, or ocean views is a hallmark of Knysna life. A well-designed timber deck expands your living space and adds immense value to your property.

The Restorers designs and builds premium wooden and composite decks, balustrades, stairs, and covered timber pergolas. We engineer solid sub-structures using CCA-treated H4/H5 structural poles and marine-grade stainless steel fasteners to prevent sag, rot, and coastal corrosion.

Balau, Garapa, Composite & Treated Pine Options

We work with leading hardwoods including Balau and Garapa, modern maintenance-free wood-plastic composites (WPC), and treated South African pine. Whether you are building an elevated viewing deck on the cliffs of The Heads, a pool surround in Pezula, or a ground-level patio deck on Leisure Isle, we ensure flawless finishing and professional UV oil treatment.

Garapa, Balau & Treated Pine: We source high-density hardwood timber or cost-effective H3 treated pine suited for outdoor damp structures.

Low-Maintenance Composite Decks: Expert installers of premium composite decking boards that won't warp, splinter, or require annual painting.

Solid Structural Foundation Poles: We embed H4 treated structural timber poles in deep concrete footings to ensure absolute deck stability.

Our Deck Building Process

We engineer decks according to SANS building regulations, focusing on stability, ventilation, and drainage.

01

Site Layout & Excavation

We mark out deck levels, excavate post holes to solid ground, and treat structural timber cuts with sealer.

02

Support Framework

We cast concrete footings around H4 poles, align support beams, install joists with joist hangers, and check levels.

03

Board Installation

We lay deck boards with precise spacing gaps using stainless steel deck screws, ensuring neat countersunk heads.

04

Balustrades & Sealing

We build secure wooden handrails, stairs, construct overhead pergolas, sand, and apply three coats of wood sealant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about our services in Knysna? Here are answers to some of the common inquiries we receive.

Which decking timber is best for Knysna's coastal moisture? ↓

Balau and Garapa hardwoods are naturally dense, fungal-resistant, and ideal for coastal climates. High-end composite decking is also an excellent zero-maintenance alternative that will never splinter or rot.

How often does a timber deck need maintenance in Knysna? ↓

In Knysna, hardwood decks exposed to full sun and salt spray should be cleaned and coated with penetrating UV deck oil every 12 to 18 months to preserve their rich natural grain and prevent greying.

Do your decks comply with local municipal building regulations? ↓

Yes. All structural posts, bearer spans, joist spacing, and balustrade heights strictly follow SANS 10082 timber building standards and Knysna municipal safety codes.
