This large, 2nd story deck replace an old rotten one of the same size. To prevent future replacement any time soon, the clients requested low-maintenance composite decking and railing. Out in the country, privacy is of little concern from neighbours. In-fact, the view out back is everything. We installed a custom combination of composite post sleeves, 10mm glass and stainless steel glass clamps. The thick glass allows for no hand rail, leaving the view unobstructed. Above the deck is a matching master bedroom balcony featuring the same material and railing. In front of the balcony and above the lounging area, we built a chunky Cedar pergola. Led lighting around the deck perimeter lights up the glass rail at night. Underneath the deck, for the walkout basement, we built large armour stone retaining walls with a small stone patio.
