The next phase of the project was to construct the decking and railings. Cinnamon brown natural fiber-polymer composite deck boards were installed horizontally to create the flooring. These composite boards are a practical choice for this deck because they are weatherproof, low maintenance and durable in addition to being fade and stain resistant. To finish the outside edges of the deck base, a picture frame border with centerline transition was built along the joist length and matching fascia deck boards were installed around the perimeter face of the deck. The deck railing was built using white capped Trex rail posts with black top and bottom rails. The railing was completed with the addition of Trex black square balusters, connecting the top and bottom rails. Two sets of staircases were installed, one leading directly off the back of the deck down to the patio, and the other leading off the side of the deck facing the driveway. The risers and treads of the stairs were built with the same type and color of composite boards that were used for the deck floor. The stair posts, railings and balusters were composed of Trex materials equivalent to the perimeter deck railing, keeping the color and style consistent around the deck. A handrail was also installed on one side of the railing for easy accessibility when going up and down the deck stairs. The roof posts and beams were wrapped with white PVC, and caps and bases were added to the posts in the style of a column. The final step of this project was to finish the ceiling with beautifully polished natural pine tongue and groove boards. This exquisitely designed deck transformed the homeownersu2019 backyard into a comfortable and inviting outdoor space perfect for reading a good book on a breezy summer afternoon or hosting friends and family for a 4th of July barbeque. Our team successfully incorporated the homeownersu2019 needs and preferences into the design and construction so that their new deck will be enjoyed for many lazy afternoons, family meals and summer holidays to come!
