deck with railing and firepit
IMI Design, LLC Jan 2014 This fire pit was custom designed and fabricated by IMI Design to visually correlate with the custom dinning table just inside the residence. This outdoor living space was designed to provide warmth and comfort as well as function (serving as a table for cocktails or hot chocolate) while enjoying the view of Lake Tahoe from this modern mountain style home.
HandyDeck Aug 2014 If you take a closer look at that picture you'll see that the deck is actually darker around the pool area and where it extends from the overhang to the interior of the house it starts to get considerably lighter. This of course will always be the problem with wood exposed to the UV in sunlight. With our wood decking tiles, we have looked at a number of sealers for Ipe wood and prefer those which contain transparent iron oxides, because these will give you better UV protection. But even so, nothing that we know will entirely stop any wood when exposed to the UV in sunlight eventually fading to a silvery gray color - although in this case, the wood nearest the house will probably maintain its nice brown color for much longer.
