Giulietti Schouten Architects Thanks. Those were nominal 12" diameter columns but there is a taper to them so the diameter varies at different points along the columns.
COULD YOU SHOW AND DETAIL FLOOR AND MATERIALS USED FOR FLOOR - HAVE 4YR. OLD HOUSE WITH SIMILAR DECK THAT HAS WATER DAMAGE WOULD LIKE THE STEPS NEEDED TO MATCH THIS PHOTO. »
Giulietti Schouten Architects The patio surface in this photo is a natural slate tile set on top of a concrete slab. Your local stone and tile suplier should have numerous slate tile options for you to select from.
with a few simple alterations to the existing bones of our deck we could build splash guard by cutting into the brick above floor of upper deck the n add improved self drainage, tie into the small deck using combination of vinyl and trex or composite materials adding a spiral staricase and landscape around it or build privacy fence and a few stone half columns down below then extend footprint of deck out to the north and extend lower patio out to the south adding a firepit.
