Amazing Composite Deck with Custom Railing & Under-Deck Drainage System

 

Our customers had an existing but small deck that they loved, but they wanted to create a much larger and more comfortable space for entertaining. During the design process, they decided on a straight-line (90-degree) Fiberon Ipe composite deck built on a durable, long-lasting galvanized steel frame. The addition of divider boards enhanced the deck’s refined appearance while eliminating butt seams.

The homeowners also requested a modern, unobtrusive railing. We designed a sleek metal railing system with stainless steel cable to meet their vision. Additionally, we constructed a wide, open staircase that provides access to another outdoor living area situated beneath the deck.

To create the lower outdoor living area, we installed a Trex RainEscape under-deck drainage system and used Colorado beetle-kill pine (also known as Blue Stain pine) for the tongue-and-groove ceiling. To enhance the ambiance of this space, we added recessed can lights and a swing for the homeowners’ enjoyment.
