Steel Framed Deck with Composite Decking & Custom Railing

 

Our clients wanted to build a custom, steel-framed deck that would take advantage of the fantastic views they had from their house. We worked with them to develop a composite deck design that was uniquely theirs. It is constructed of the Trex Elevation steel deck framing and Trex Tiki Torch decking material to provide a beautiful, low-maintenance, long-lasting entertainment area. There are three distinct levels, with two larger ones that bookend the house resulting in two separate outdoor living areas. The homeowners had seen this railing design in a church throughout their travels and sketched it. We were able to recreate this in a powder-coated, wrought iron railing connected by specialty-designed stucco columns. These columns contain multiple “pop-outs” and are topped with a custom concrete stone cap. All of the design and custom work created a fantastic deck the owners love!

Looking under the deck you can see the steel deck framing. Steel framing is stronger, more durable than wood frames and it is non-combustible which is great idea for Colorado homes.

Monitor 8 - The customer decided to use steel framing in order to have a strong, long-lasting deck. The frame is made from a non-combustible material, which was a bonus point for the customer considering the forest surrounds them.
