This was a complete tear off and rebuild of this new deck. Timbertech came out with a new series and new colors for 2020 this February. The homeowners wanted a maintenance free deck and chose the new stuff! The decking color they picked with their blue house was Timbertech’s Reserve Collection in the Driftwood Color. We then decided to add white railing from Westbury Tuscany Series to match the trim color on the house. We built this deck next to the hot tub with a removable panel so there is room to access the mechanical of the hot tub when needed. One thing they asked for which took some research is a low voltage light that could be installed on the side of the deck’s fascia that would aim into the yard for the dog in the night. We then added post cap lights from Westbury and Timbertech Riser lights for the stairs. The complete Deck Lighting looks great and is a great touch. The deck had Freedom Privacy Panels installed below the deck to the ground with the Boardwalk Style in the White color. The complete deck turned out great and this new decking is amazing. Perfect deck for this house and family. The homeowners will love it for many years.

This unique courtyard was configured to create zones for cooking, eating and entertaining. A separation wall creates a cozy vibe for each zone. Plus, stair and deck lighting pucks were added so this space can be enjoyed into the evening. The dividing wall, deck flooring and cabinets are made with Fiberon Horizon 'Castle Gray' composite decking material.

Two level Deck I built in Port Washington, WI. All decking and skirting is cedar with cedar shake siding on enclosure. Under deck has channels to divert water to a drain system so the underside of the deck stays dry! LED post cap lighting and rope lighting under the stair treads, along with new post lamps complete the look.

Detail of cable railing using buffed natural aluminum posts and rails with stainless steel cables. Ipe hardwood handrail with posts bolted to solid deck framing. THe end post is isolated from house wall siding. Trex deck boards frame the entire perimeter providing a neat edge and eliminating the unsightly end view of all the boards. Great views of garden through the taught steel cables.

Medium Sized Grey Terrace Ideas and Designs

There’s nothing quite like an outdoor space with a view and if you’re elevated up high then there’s more chance of getting that view. Even if you’re not blessed with a natural view from your home, an elevated space outdoors will at least give you the chance to survey the land in front of you; whether that’s a few square metres or whole acres! A terrace is one way of achieving this as it gives you the flat surface of a patio but elevated; either on a flat roof, as decking in your garden, or extending out from your house at ground level or higher. Whether a terrace is your only outside space and you want it to function as a garden or you’ll be using it as a dining or seating area, there are all sorts of design ideas, furniture, plants and accessory options to think about.

How do I decorate or design a roof garden?

UK homeowners are resourceful when it comes to outside space and will make the most of anything they can get their hands on, so it’s no wonder that in urban areas and cities we look to the roof for a place to get some rays. A roof terrace can work in just the same way as a decking area, but you just may need a few extra elements to make it more comfortable – a way of shading an area from the sun, perhaps a parasol or sun shade, a touch of green to break up the stark nature of a roof, and a drainage system that will stop rain water collecting in colder months. If you want to create a whole garden on your roof you’ll be a little more restricted than when on ground level. Plants may have to remain potted, but you can find companies that design and install green roofs – systems that allow plants to be planted into the roof surface. However, green roofs can be costly and tricky to install, so stick to pots and raised flower beds if you want to stay on the safe side. Loungers, deck chairs and rattan chairs are great pieces of roof garden furniture as they’re portable and can be moved around your rooftop garden easily; perfect for sun chasers. However, if you want to create a larger sense of space for your roof terrace design, think about built-in benches or seating around the sides or a corner of your roof garden.

What to consider when designing garden decking

A decked garden area may look simple once finished, but there are so many factors to consider when it comes to putting together decking ideas. You’ll need to think about the materials you want to use, the balustrades or railings you might choose, whether you will have a raised deck and decking steps, and whether you want decking lights.

Which decking material is best?

Composite decking is a popular choice for outdoor deck material because it offers a combination of practicality and style. The boards are made of wood and plastic fibres so that the classic wooden look is kept but the plastic fibres mean they will be much more durable and easier to maintain than traditional hardwood. If you can’t resist the natural look and feel of hardwood decking boards, then yellow balau, iroko and ipe decking are suitable outdoor boards that will give you the classic feel of a traditional wooden deck. Remember, with hardwood decking you will regularly need to treat the wood to keep it clean, waterproofed and to maintain the colour. As wood is usually more of an investment than composite or plastic decking, it’s a good idea to speak to decking specialists or timber merchants because they will be able to advise you on the best wood for your design and how best to treat it. You may find that different decking materials are better to suited to different types of terraces; whether that’s on a roof, in the garden or on a balcony. Whether you are designing a terrace, balcony or decked garden area from scratch, or just looking to decorate what you already have, take a look through the photos on Houzz to find terrace and balcony ideas and inspiration.
