Fiberon Horizon Ipe decking combined with Fiberon Tropics rail. Titan flat black post caps with black square textured balusters and designer connectors. Trex black face mounted post lights and riser lights.

Waterproof vinyl decking material over living space. I really think this is the best material for going over a living space. You do have to moderately maintain this material, (basically keep it clean), and eventually replace it as it's life cycle comes to an end. I would say the typical life is 12 to 15 years for a medium grade product with a higher millage vinyl lasting 20 plus years with proper care. The railing is a powder coated aluminum with pickets. A great space to take in this water view. Photos by Doug Woodside, Decks and Patio Covers

The upper level of this gorgeous Trex deck is the central entertaining and dining space and includes a beautiful concrete fire table and a custom cedar bench that floats over the deck. The dining space is defined by the stunning, cantilevered, aluminum pergola above and cable railing along the edge of the deck. Adjacent to the pergola is a covered grill and prep space. Light brown custom cedar screen walls provide privacy along the landscaped terrace and compliment the warm hues of the decking. Clean, modern light fixtures are also present in the deck steps, along the deck perimeter, and throughout the landscape making the space well-defined in the evening as well as the daytime.

Detail of cable railing using buffed natural aluminum posts and rails with stainless steel cables. Ipe hardwood handrail with posts bolted to solid deck framing. THe end post is isolated from house wall siding. Trex deck boards frame the entire perimeter providing a neat edge and eliminating the unsightly end view of all the boards. Great views of garden through the taught steel cables.

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
