This project was built for a rare homeowner that preferred wood for virtually the entire project. The project included a 600 sqft. ipe deck, cedar railing, and a pavilion constructed with cedar columns and a pine ceiling. (The ipe had not been sealed when the photos were taken.)

The close-up of the decking demonstrates why we prefer to face-screw hardwood decking as opposed to grooved boards. Face-screwing helps to keep the deck surface level and flat for the long term. Clips can, over time, loosen and lead to unevenness in the deck surface.

This project is a simple 14x16 deck, built with cedar decking and railing, as well as a built-in bench on each corner.
The design is very simple--a basic rectangular shape with 45 clipped corners. The size (14x16) is suitable for basic outdoor activities, such as seating and dining.

This deck project features AZEK decking, wood railing and an octagonal gazebo.

This project features a shed-style enclosure and cedar deck. Underneath the enclosure, vinyl siding was added around the perimeter to create storage space.

These pictures represent several pressure-treated deck projects, all constructed by Stump's. While low-maintenance decking has rapidly become popular, pressure-treated wood is still a viable option for many customers. Besides being less-expensive, wood has a beauty that can't be duplicated by synthetic boards. We also have a much better idea how wood performs over time, given the fact that most synthetic boards have been around less than ten years.
