Natural brown tone powder coat was used to compliment the color variation on this brazilian hardwood deck with a beautiful mountain view. Stainless steel cable appears nearly invisible from 5 feet away with nothing but landscape picked up in the distance. Hardwood and stainless cable combined with galvanized steel posts and powder coating make for a beautiful and durable railing system. Photo Matt Redmond

Built-in deck components are becoming more popular as people expand their indoor living to the great outdoors. The bench seating and planters were constructed using the same material as the deck, Fiberon's composite decking - the ProTect Advantage line in 'Chestnut'. Planter boxes, like these, add visual interest and can soften the angles of a deck or patio. Fill planters with colorful flowers, tall ornamental grasses for privacy, or fresh herbs or vegetables that are only steps away from the outdoor kitchen!
