Not every roof needs screening. An open air deck may be a better choice in some situations. It gives a much better of view of the surroundings, and allows you to enjoy a nice breeze on a summer evening. It also allows for better access to the outside, which was helpful with this project, which extends along the width of an in-ground pool. The roof also has a vinyl soffit ceiling and recessed lighting. The AZEK deck below the roof features a three-layer picture-frame layout on the perimeter of the deck and landing, as well as step riser lights.
