Old Farm Neighborhood
Striking Two-Toned Composite Deck
When our clients purchased a new home, the existing deck was in extremely bad shape and unsafe. It was an older redwood deck that had not been maintained over the years. We discussed what design the owners wanted to go with for the new deck. Keeping the same size (14’ x 22’) was a must, as they would be using the outdoor living space a lot throughout the year. Low-maintenance materials were also a “must-have” for them. After looking at the different materials and colors available, they decided to use Deckorators Voyage Tundra composite decking laid at a 90-degree angle to the joists. To create a beautiful design contrast, we installed a double picture frame and divider boards in the much darker Deckorators Dark Slate. The railing is a Fortress Fe26 Traditional powder-coated system with 3” x 3” posts and flat pyramid post caps. Five of the post caps are lighted using a non-dimmable transformer, we put two at the top each staircase and the fifth was installed on the side of the deck. Using the Deckorators Tundra for the step treads and the Dark Slate on the stair risers and fascia makes a beautiful contrast when approaching the deck from the yard. The homeowners are looking forward to the spring and summer so they can start enjoying their gorgeous new outdoor living space!
