what is the wood used for this deck? - I am building a new deck and this is the look we would like to achieve. »

Becker Architects Limited I've never used Teak for a deck, but it sounds expensive. Good wood materials for outdoor use : Ipe, Cedar, Redwood, Garapa, Mahogany, Teak. These all weather well. Pricing varies by region, availability, etc. You should price a few materials and see what pricing and look works best for you.

deck railings - When you say this question may already be answered I click and all I see is my same question. Who made these railings? But no answer. »

jamesg46 I helped install this railing. the posts were custom made,there is a metal band across the top that holds the posts in position as well as the wood top rail screwed on from underneath . No fasteners from the top help to keep water damage to a minimum. the bottom of the top rail was ploughed out to accept the metal band. the wire is custom ordered by the foot along with the cable ends. Ipe is an extremely durable surface for exterior use but is an extremely hard wood and difficult to install.

Jay Flom Beautiful minimalist installation. I was curious whose hardware you chose for your cable fittings. My experience with the CableRail Quick-Connect® fittings seem like the most installer-friendly option.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Another beautiful modern railing.
The size of the deck also has structural implications. Your architect, engineer or contractor should size the beams, joists and pier footings so that the deck not only meets structural requirements but also feels stable to the people on it. The higher people are off the ground, the less comfortable they will be with the deck moving underfoot. Also, keep in mind that in addition to increasing the cost of decking materials and labor, adding square footage will increase the number of concrete footings to dig and pour. Oversizing the deck by two feet in one direction may mean an additional row of footings. Discuss the structural implications with your designer so you can get the deck that is the right size for your family at the price that's easiest on your pocketbook.
