This backyard transformation involved designing and building a raised timber deck complete with a large pergola cover. The existing outdoor area was flat and underused, so our client wanted something that would elevate their outdoor living experience. We used treated pine for the structure and decking boards for durability and cost-effectiveness, then finished the surface with a rich decking oil to enhance the wood grain and protect it from the elements.
The pergola frame was constructed with solid timber posts and beams, and we installed a durable polycarbonate roofing sheet to allow light through while still offering protection from the rain. One of the key challenges here was ensuring the entire structure was level and well-integrated with the home, especially around the entry points. The end result is a beautiful, spacious entertainment area that’s ideal for hosting, relaxing, and enjoying the backyard all year round.
