Beautiful design for looking down from deck without railing getting in view. I hope to use on our new deck -THANK YOU. Great design for our 20" elec. snower blower to clean seating area. Was wondering if you could put a hinge at the third 5.5" board on seating area in 4' sections and flip up to make a BENCH with cushions. Possible seal back of boards for water dripping thru and with a cushion mounted for back rest and another seat cushion hidden below. When folded down this would hide both the back and bottom cushion and protect them from the elements. Thanks again for the great concept - appreciate the amount of time to come up with. Would like to know run and rise of steps? And seating height? Is that a 3' rail?
