This big project is supported by three block columns covered with stone veneer and round tapered vinyl supports between. It includes Brownstone AZEK decking with Cortex hidden fasteners, Ivory vinyl railing with bronze aluminum balusters, a shed underneath a portion of the deck, and lighting on the stone columns.
This owner originally had a 10x10 wood deck off of their townhouse (see the bottom picture for the "before"). Stump's Quality Decks expanded the deck to a 10x20 low-maintenance Azek deck, doubling the deck space. They also added an underdeck system that made the area below the deck usable during the rain. The deck was built with AZEK decking (Morado color), white vinyl railing, and low-voltage lighting.
The lighting includes three types of lighting--post cap lighting, post accent lighting (mounted on the side of the post), and lighting for the underdeck area.
This deck features a separate 12x16 dining area, built one foot below the main area of the deck. The decking direction changes in the dining area, to provide a visual contrast between the two levels. To create a hidden storage area underneath, AZEK vertical skirting (with an access door) was installed to enclose the entire area below. Dryspace was also added to keep one portion of the area dry.
