Owners Create Outdoor Living Space with a New Composite Deck

 

When the owners purchased this home, they envisioned an outdoor living space for the family encompassing the whole yard. They knew the small wood deck and barren backyard could become their dream with some time and effort. Their first step was removing the deck built with the house. Due to its size, they had no room to entertain or dine outside in gorgeous Colorado weather. Working together, DBS and the owners designed a much larger deck using composite materials. They chose to use Deckorators Ironwood from the Vista collection. They added end boards and a divider board for a sleek, modern look. The railing is a Fortress Fe26 Traditional metal panel system in Black Sand, and we added a drink cap in the Ironwood composite material. The homeowners have turned their new deck into a comfortable area to enjoy entertaining and dining with family and friends. It was the first step in turning the backyard into an oasis for the whole family!

Allendale 3 – The owners wanted to build larger deck that would allow room for grilling and dining.  This picture was taken right next to the door leading to the deck.

Allendale 6 – After looking at the multiple options available for decking materials, the owners decided to go with Ironwood from the Deckorators Vista series.  We also added end boards and a divider board (you can see it in this picture), to avoid butt seams and give the decking a finished look.
