Outdoor carpentry in the Cyprus climate

Pergolas, decking and shaded seating areas are some of the most requested carpentry jobs in Cyprus, and some of the most punishing for timber. UV light greys and splits wood, the dry heat opens up joints, and coastal properties add salt air that corrodes cheap fixings. Ask your carpenter which timber they recommend, how it has been treated, and whether fixings are stainless steel.

Outdoor timber needs oiling or re-staining regularly, often every year on south-facing structures. Composite decking needs less upkeep but gets hot underfoot in summer, so it is not always the better choice around a pool.

Indoor joinery

Fitted wardrobes are in high demand because many Cypriot homes, especially older ones, were built with little storage. Doors, staircases, kitchen units and bespoke shelving are also common. Agree measurements, materials, finish and hardware in writing before anything is made, since bespoke pieces are hard to change once cut.

Common carpentry jobs

Common questions

Do I need permission for a pergola?

An open pergola is often treated differently from a roofed structure, but rules vary. If it will be covered or enclosed, check with an architect before building.

How often does outdoor wood need treating in Cyprus?

Often every year on exposed, sunny structures. Ask your carpenter for a maintenance plan for the timber and finish they use.

How long does bespoke joinery take?

It depends on the workshop's queue and the materials. Ask for a lead time in writing when you accept the quote.
