Outdoor Living Area for All Weather

 

Our customers enjoy spending a lot of time outdoors, grilling and entertaining. They wanted to build a deck that would enhance their lifestyle and decided on a steel deck frame for its strength and durability. Over the frame, we laid down composite decking material with a single divider board. The railing is a metal panel railing between 3″ x 3″ posts in an antiqued bronze color with a composite material drink cap. When designing the deck cover the homeowner wanted, they mentioned that they wanted to be able to use the deck in all types of weather. We designed a cover that included recessed lights, a ceiling fan, and two overhead heaters. The ceiling is made from Blue Stain tongue and groove pine. In order to make it easier to cook and entertain outside, we installed a outdoor kitchen area with fully-functioning sink and mini-refrigerator. Next to the kitchen window, we designed and built a ledge that makes it easy to hand items out through the window. The homeowner also requested two benches constructed from the same composite material as the deck. The final product is a gorgeous outdoor living area that the homeowner uses year-round!
