This multi-level composite deck includes a curved bench from the same material — a very durable substance that won’t fade, chip, or splinter. Note: building it at ground level eliminated the need for a railing which saved some expense. www.longislandhottub.com

Inspiration for a rustic deck remodel in Austin with decking

We completed this exterior renovation just in time for our clients to enjoy the last days of summer. In order to bring new life to this backyard, we built a multi-level deck using Trex composite decking. The home-owner wanted a bit of overhead protection for the upper deck so we had a local glass company install a frameless lami-glass canopy, which we supported with fir beams. They completed the design for the upper deck with side-mounted glass guard rails for a cleaner look.

This beautifully constructed multi-level backyard deck features modern black aluminum railings with glass panels, pressure-treated wood, and built-in privacy screens. The upper level includes a cozy lounge area with modern patio furniture and a barbecue zone, perfect for entertaining. A central staircase with sleek black railings leads to a spacious lower-level deck, offering additional seating with outdoor umbrellas for shade and relaxation. The entire structure is anchored on a raised platform, with access from the backyard through stone steps and surrounded by a well-maintained lawn and fencing for added privacy. The layout maximizes the use of vertical space and creates a seamless flow between the indoor living space and the outdoor environment, ideal for families or social gatherings.

This Birmingham deck was built using TimberTech Tropicals composite decking in Amazon Mist and a striking deck railing system with an urban retro feel. The railings are from TimberTech’s Evolutions Rail Contemporary line. The homeowners selected black low-maintenance posts and rail caps with see-through stainless steel cable infill instead of the traditional balusters or pickets. Looking through the railings, the cables are barely visible, so anyone on the deck has an unobstructed view of the yard and surrounding foliage.
