The image shows a two-story composite deck with dark boards and black maintenance-free metal railings. The upper deck features a partial patio roof cover, and both levels overlook lush greenery.

Set in the garden beside a traditional Dutch Colonial home in Wellesley, Flavin conceived this boldly modern retreat, built of steel, wood and concrete. The building is designed to engage the client’s passions for gardening, entertaining and restoring vintage Vespa scooters. The Vespa repair shop and garage are on the first floor. The second floor houses a home office and veranda. On top is a roof deck with space for lounging and outdoor dining, surrounded by a vegetable garden in raised planters. The structural steel frame of the building is left exposed; and the side facing the public side is draped with a mahogany screen that creates privacy in the building and diffuses the dappled light filtered through the trees.

Inspiration for a timeless backyard privacy deck remodel in San Francisco with no cover

This deck had many design details with this resurface. The homeowner's of this deck wanted to change out their wood decking to a maintenance free products. We installed New Timbertech PVC Capped Composite Decking (Terrain Series - Silver Maple) with a picture frame in the center for a custom design feel. The deck is the perfect height for the hot tub. We then installed new roofing on the existing gazebo along with new roofing and an Aluminum Soffit Ceiling which matched the Westbury Railing (Tuscany Series - Bronze in color). My favorite parts is the inside corner stairs and of course the custom privacy wall we designed out of Westbury Railing Posts and Timbertech Fascia & Risers. This complete deck project turned out great and the homeowners could not be any happier.

The owner of the charming family home wanted to cover the old pool deck converted into an outdoor patio to add a dried and shaded area outside the home. This newly covered deck should be resistant, functional, and large enough to accommodate friends or family gatherings without a pole blocking the splendid river view.

Example of a huge transitional backyard privacy deck design in Other with no cover

This Downtown Jackson home is full of contemporary steel. The handrail and stairs are simple yet functional and were installed in sections and mounted to the floor and walls. Steel columns were positioned on the decks outside so the wood screen would act as a privacy barrier for the close downtown residences. A horizontal rail was installed to match the privacy screen that was installed. Each horizontal bar was shop welded in place and installed in one section. The emergency ladder was manufactured out of steel and installed under an external floor grate. Hinges were welded into place creating a trap door egress to allow an easy exit access if required. All in all, this Downtown abode encompasses steel and wood in a contemporary modern variation.

Example of a trendy rooftop privacy deck design in Philadelphia with a fire pit and a pergola

The pergola provides shade and privacy. Raising the deck to the ground floor level meant we needed to incorporate a feature that would provide some privacy along the side of the deck that faces the neighbors. The framed lattice panels create privacy without blocking the sunlight. The planters below the privacy screens add life and color to the screens and the pergola.

ShadeFX customized a 10’ x 16’ shade structure and manual retractable canopy for a rooftop terrace in Cincinnati. The sleek black frame matches seamlessly with the renovation while protecting the homeowners from the afternoon sun.
