What a beautiful setting for an intimate outdoor wedding! These Walker County homeowners had a wooden deck that needed to be refreshed, and they wanted to add a pair of pergolas with accompanying decks as well. Given how beautifully it turned out, we wouldn’t be surprised if this was just the first of many celebrations to take place on this picture-perfect deck. At Archadeck of Birmingham we are thrilled to see the decks and pergolas we designed in the gorgeous wedding pictures.
New Multi-Level Area and Side Decks
This project entailed more than just a refresh to their existing deck and adding a few pergolas – much more! Archadeck of Birmingham added a new multi level deck area along with side decks to accommodate the new pergolas. We then tied it all together with gorgeous rich wooden decking, railing and black powder-coated aluminum balusters.
Redecking Can Save Time and Money
The orginal wooden deck which lies under the covered portion, was showing signs of age but the support structure below was in good shape. Our clients were interested in redecking under the covered porch area of the structure, and we were pleased to tell them redecking was indeed an option here. For the redecking project, we removed the deck’s surface and replaced it with new decking boards. The result? This area of the deck looks new again. With redecking, our clients saved money on materials and labor.
Some homeowners elect to use low-maintenance composite decking for their redecking project. These clients, however, prefer the look of natural wood. Given the heavily-wooded area this deck overlooks, you can see why! So they replaced an older wooden deck surface with a fresh, new surface of pressure-treated wood. With proper care, it should look great for another 15 years. Redecking usually includes replacing a deck’s railing and stairs as well as the deck surface. The homeowners selected wood railings and powder-coated aluminum balusters. We love these thin, black balusters because they don’t obscure the view from the deck.
