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!

Beautiful deck off the back of this home with a detached, screened in Gazebo with Eze Breeze. Light colored Trex Transcends composite decking and black aluminum rails help to round out this deck and gazebo that overlook the lake.

A bit removed from the crowd, this new contemporary guest house was designed to be a complement to the main house, and a great place to retreat for friends and family. This two-level space provides a unique and open entry experience that transitions into a cozy and comfortable place to spend some time. Entering on the first level the views are partially blocked by the “typical” Maine ledge, and as you climb the stairs toward the second level an expansive view overlooking Penobscot Bay slowly reveals itself.
