We all know the old South African saying – it’s not inside … it’s on top!

Rooftop decks are all the rage right now when it comes to outdoor luxury urban living, and every homeowner wants one because it’s the solution-with-a-view.

That’s especially true as densities in urban areas increase and garden sizes decrease.

But it’s not just residential rooftop decks that are growing in popularity, with corporates embracing the rooftop deck as part of a healthier work routine and lifestyle.

Such features have become a big selling point to attract young professionals who value the outdoor space to work, lounge, and socialise in.

The idea with outdoor decking materials is that they should balance aesthetics and the cool factor with sustainability and longevity, and this is where Rhino Wood really sets themselves apart.

This proudly South African product is seriously low maintenance and does not have to be stained regularly, weathering beautifully into varying shades of grey.

It’s sustainably sourced from South African plantations and modified, using a patented South African process, to achieve similar (and at times even enhanced) characteristics of the most durable and rarest hardwoods.

Oh, and there’s the added bonus that Rhino Wood doesn’t splinter, is water-resistant, durable, non-toxic, free from volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and a worthwhile long-term investment.

We should all be aware of where the timber we use comes from, so that we can be part of the wave to reduce the environmental impact of construction in our community, and Rhino Wood ticks that box with a flourish.

Nothing beats a fantastic view from the rooftop deck, ale of choice in hand, safe in the knowledge that you’ve done your bit for the environment, too.

Oh, and you did see the magic they worked over at Cabine du Cap, right?
