What Deck Builders Do is Artistry

Monday, March 4th, 2013

Fiberon sells composite deck boards and railing. But what deck builders do with it, is artistry. To them, it’s not just a deck board. It’s a building material that creates decks, porches, benches, planters, pergolas, partitions, fencing and outdoor kitchen cabinets. Outdoor areas have expanded from living and relaxing spaces to hardscapes and landscapes with outdoor kitchens, yoga and meditation areas, spas, raised herbal beds and fire and water features.

 

Most of us think of a deck as a square space attached to the back of a house. If it were left to me to design a deck, that’s what I would start out designing. Take a look at these artisans and what they have created with composite decking and railing. These pictures are amazing examples of how the deck-building pros elevate their carpentry skills to artistry. Their expertise in handling composite products offer unique, durable and beautiful spaces that keep their good looks. Look at the way these creative deck designs have angles, circular areas and insets. Even the railings are combinations of materials and colors. Options are infinite and accent lighting can be added to both decking and railing for homeowners to enjoy their backyard retreats well into the evenings.

 

Hiring a pro puts your project in the creative hands that can offer you the outdoor living space you could not have imagined. What a talented pro can offer you is a custom backyard respite that not only adds value to your home, but quality to your life.

Deck Showcase: Apex Carpentry

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

Each professional deck builder considers his completed projects to be works of art. Fiberon Professional Craig Brewster of Apex Carpentry shares one composite deck project that shows no matter how old you are, you can still be a kid at heart.

Fiberon composite deckingIn South Jordan, Utah, Apex Carpentry was asked to build a unique deck, which would accommodate not only the parents, but their son as well. Using Fiberon Horizon Ipe decking, Craig and his team added a slide as a special feature to allow the homeowners’ son hours of fun.

Before constructing this fun outdoor living space, the home had a small deck in the same place that was too small for the homeowners’ needs and was rotting.
