Timber screens and balustrades in Cape Town
Privacy screens, timber balustrades, railings and edges for decks, stairs and gardens across Cape Town and the Western Cape.
Timber screens, privacy screening and wooden balustrades built for Cape Town homes, decks and gardens.
Applications
- Visual screening
- Privacy between properties
- Deck and stair edges
- Custom timber stairs
- Architectural separation
- Public seating edges
Privacy and visual screening
Screens separate space without treating the garden as an afterthought. Height, spacing and how the screen meets the building belong to the brief. Species are listed when they were used — for example Balau screening at Rondebosch.
Balustrades and railings
Timber balustrades finish decks, stairs and viewing edges. The Bloubergstrand project is a Balau balustrade with stainless-steel cable infill — that edge, not a standard railing system for every site.
Timber staircases
Custom timber stairs are built as access timber with the same crew. Completed examples include a Balau staircase in Melkbosstrand and the H3-treated pine stair on the Franschhoek Guest Suite balcony deck. Spinnaker Lagoon Beach in Milnerton records walkway and beach stairs — circulation timber, not a private garden stair product.
Building regulations
Legal or regulatory safety requirements depend on the site and the applicable rules at the time of work. They are discussed during the site conversation rather than restated as a standard here.
Private homes and civic edges
House Jordaan in Brackenfell is a private residential neighbour in this set. Kruskal Avenue seating in Bellville is public timber with a strong edge condition. They are different briefs.

Before you enquire.
Are screens only for houses?
No. Kruskal Avenue seating in Bellville is public timber with a strong edge condition. Private screens and civic edges are different briefs.
Is Balau used on every screen?
No. Balau screening at Rondebosch is that project, not a default for every site.
Do you handle stair and deck edges together?
Yes, when that is the brief. Balustrades finish decks, stairs and viewing edges as part of the same outdoor timber conversation.
Do you build timber staircases?
Yes, when the brief is access timber. Completed examples include a Balau staircase in Melkbosstrand and the pine stair on the Franschhoek Guest Suite balcony deck.
Are building regulations listed here?
No. Legal or regulatory safety requirements depend on the site and the applicable rules at the time of work. They are not restated as a standard on this page.
