When it comes to outdoor entertaining, South Africans really know what they’re doing, and not only because we have such impressive natural scenery throughout our country – our weather and climate are also some of the best, which means regular occasions and opportunities to assemble the gang for a get-together outside! 

Thus, with outdoor socialising in mind, let’s take a look at 7 fabulous wooden decks located right here in South Africa – perhaps these will inspire you to style up your outdoor spaces (garden, terrace, porch etc.) back home?

Deck no. 1

Wood is truly a versatile material, not only in terms of colour, but also style and appearance. Don’t you just love the light, honey-hued look of this timber deck that translates into the railings?

Deck no. 2

Something in a warmer/darker tone, perhaps? And this one even comes with built-in benches!

Deck no. 3

A fire-pit, garden, plus outdoor seating with coloured cushions? We just can’t imagine a better-looking outdoor spot for some relaxing and/or socialising.

Deck no. 4

Of course if your spacious decking comes hand in hand with a breathtaking view, then you’ve really made it!

Deck no. 5

We all know that decent maintenance is important to keep your deck looking clean, shiny and good as new, as this outdoor dining space’s floor testifies (visually, at least).

Deck no. 6

On the other hand, a rough and weathered look can also look quite stylish.

Deck no. 7

What a picture-perfect setting! We’ll take our drinks out on the patio overlooking this immaculate landscape, thank you!
