Deck Features
Stairs, seating, lighting, and finishes, designed into your deck from day one.
A great deck is more than boards. Every feature here is planned into your design, built from the same composite as your deck, and backed by our workmanship warranty. Pick your favorites and we’ll bring them to your free design.
How you step onto, across, and off your deck.
Make an entrance
Wide, comfortable stairs set the tone for the whole yard. We design them to fit your grade, with landings that break up long runs and give you a spot to pause, plant, or add a bench.
Connect the yard
Walkways in the same low-maintenance boards connect your deck to the yard, a hot tub, a side gate, or a patio, so the whole outdoor space reads as one design.
Easy access
A gentle ramp makes your deck easy to reach for wheelchairs, strollers, wheeled grills, and older pets, and we design it to blend in rather than look like an add-on.
Built-in spots to sit, set a drink down, and stay a while.
Built-in seating
Composite benches built into the deck add seating without more furniture to store or replace. Line a perimeter, wrap a fire pit area, or frame a view.
Bar-height hangout
A bar-height counter along the railing turns any edge into seating. Pull up stools, watch the sunset, and keep the main deck open for dining and lounging.
A spot for your drink
A wide composite cap along the top of your railing gives guests a place to set drinks and plates while they take in the view, without crowding the deck with side tables.
Bring the green up
Planters built from the same composite as your deck bring greenery up to eye level, soften long edges, and define spaces without walls.
The touches that make a deck look custom.
Finished edges
A border of boards around the deck’s edge, often in a contrasting color, hides cut board ends and gives the deck a finished, custom look.
Make it one of a kind
Diagonal, herringbone, and breaker-board layouts add visual interest and can mark out zones, like a dining area, within one deck.
After-dark safety
Low-voltage lights set into stair treads, posts, and rails make steps safe after dark and give your deck a warm evening glow. They’re planned into the build, so the wiring stays hidden.
Clean structure
Composite sleeves cover the structural posts and beams so the frame matches your deck and never needs paint.
Make the space over and under your deck usable, too.
Shade & shelter
A roof or weatherproof pergola cover turns your deck into an outdoor room you can use rain or shine, with space for ceiling fans and lighting.
Dry space below
A drainage system like RainEscape, installed between the joists, keeps the space under a second-story deck dry. It turns the area below into usable covered patio and helps protect the framing from moisture.
Finished ceiling
Soffit panels on the underside of an elevated deck give the patio below a clean, finished ceiling, and pair well with under-deck waterproofing and lighting.
