This multi-level
deck not only considered the safety of the owners, but the earth
and nearby Grand Lake was considered, as well.
Made from
"epoch decking," a recycled polymer material that is
weather-proof and no-maintenance. The powder-coated metal railing
is no-maintenance.
Looks great
with log posts. Another plus is the metal balusters, as you can
see the views.
A system
hidden above a soffit to match the house diverts the water from
under a balcony to a down spout to create usable outdoor space
or dry walkway.
"Open,
studded, or non-skid metal treads should be considered where
ice is present." - Greg Bayda
