Monument

Amazing Outdoor Living Area with Deck Cover and Glass Windbreak

Custom Fiberon Deck with Artistic Railing and Glass Windbreak

This home in Monument sits on a lot overlooking the stunning Colorado front range.  Our clients wanted to design and build a deck that would take full advantage of those breathtaking views while also providing protection from the area’s frequent high winds.

Working closely with the homeowners, Decks by Schmillen designed a custom outdoor living space that incorporates multiple unique elements tailored to their lifestyle and design vision.

Composite Decking and Custom Design

The deck was built using Fiberon Tudor Brown composite decking, installed at a 45-degree angle to the joists to highlight the color variations in the material.  A double picture frame border in TimberTech Harvest Kona provides a rich contrast and polished appearance.

Artistic and Functional Deck Railing System

The railing is one of the more striking features of this deck.  The handcrafted railing incorporates twisted, basket-style balusters, giving it both texture and visual interest.  To make the railing truly one-of-a-kind, the owners asked us to incorporate a piece of metal art collected during their travels, which Decks by Schmillen custom-framed and built into the center section of the railing.

Glass Walls Create Wind Protection

To ensure the deck could be used in most types of weather, DBS added glass walls along the southwest end of the deck.  These windbreak panels provide a calm, comfortable area for relaxing by the firepit while maintaining the unobstructed views of the mountains and surrounding landscape.

Outdoor Living Area with Unmatched Views

The result is a beautiful and highly personalized outdoor living and dining area that balances functionality, art, and Colorado mountain aesthetics.  The combination of composite materials, steel elements, and glass ensures lasting beauty with minimal maintenance – perfectly suited for the Monument climate.
