FEATURES Sentinel View with its refreshed deck. Timber Decks, Patios & Pergolas Installations & Maintenance in Cape Town & Pretoria www.topdecks.co.za The curves and circles fit well into the environment of large trees. “There’s an exceptionally inviting feeling that overwhelms you when you walk down the curvy walkway,” says Jonkers. It also says that there is just enough sunlight, well sheltered from wind and the perfect way to use an otherwise dead space. REJUVENATED POOL The client contracted Deckscapes to renew their backyard by draining the pool and covering it with decking with a rustic latte pergola and swing. Deckscapes found it challenging to drain the water into a tank to prevent wastage. “Thereafter we had to cover the pool with a solid deck that could be used daily and take the weight of people,” says Deckscapes marketing manager, Wendy Purdon. The idea is that the deck was made as a ‘fit over-cover’ so that will still be possible to open it up again. The swing set is held up by the gum poles in concrete. What makes the project impressive is that it is water saving, forward thinking and beautifully finished. The client was delighted as she says she uses the space daily,” she says.
