Deck - mid-sized traditional backyard deck idea in Cleveland with no cover

Contempra deck rails in Almond (from Missouri Vinyl) coupled with TimberTech's Brown Oak decking, slim balusters and lantern post lights create a gorgeous, soft-toned backyard deck project. The design is practical and the style, trending yet forever classic. Project by Archadeck in St. Louis Mo.

Steps off of a 45 degree corner eliminates the "boxed" look. This shot demonstrates the good looks of black balusters and white/tan railing combination.

The deck railing is a Fortress Fe26 Traditional powder-coated railing system with 3" x 3" x 39.5" posts and post caps. The drink cap is constructed from Deckorators Ironwood material, as is the deck.

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
