Romeo MI composite deck

It has been to long since we have updated our blog .. I have to apologize !

 It has been hard to find time we have been busy building decks.



Today we are going to review a project we started last November.



We framed the deck last year and the job was put on hold until early this spring when we finished up. We were originally hired to only design the deck. Then we were hired to frame the deck, and the customer was going to finish the deck. After further considering the scope of the project we were then hired to finish the deck this March.


Here is the design that was revised some this spring.
The deck was designed to be a temporary access to the above ground pool which will eventually be removed. So the deck will have to look good when the pool is removed.
The design also has a unique center section with a dodecogan triple picture frame border. 
Here we had to build a jig out of wood decking to get the proper layout of the dodecogan (12 sided octagon) This was a challenge to keep everything square and all the mitres tight ! Originally the deck was only going to have a double picture frame border, so we had to add more blocking.


The decking is the new Timber Tech Evolutions rosewood (cap composite) with Timber Tech X sandridge borders, fascia, and railings. Here we are installing the decking and borders.
We tried tying in the colors of the decking, fascia, and railings with trim and brick colors of the house.


From the outside, the deck looks all the sandridge color like the color of the house trim and once you are on the deck surface we tried to pick up the brick color with the rosewood decking.

The railings are Timber Tech Radiance rail in sandridge with bronze Deckorators balusters. The two rail sections over the pool are removable to access the pool.




Here are few more final pictures
