Ridge Deck Expansion
Back to all projects
The back yard entertaining area for this project used to be a basic patio that was 3 steps down from the house through a hinged patio door. The homeowners wanted to improve the form and function of the space, make it more inviting, and extend the amount of time they could enjoy it.
First, the deck surface was built over the existing patio, raising it to eliminate steps from the house, and expanded to the end of the kitchen wall. A pergola was built over the extension for a shade feature that also helps shield the kitchen against sunlight.
To make use of the deck in colder months, a fire feature was added on the other side. This portion of the deck is two steps down from the main deck, eliminating the need for a railing, and features a curved corner that follows the curve of the firepit.
The patio door that previously had one functioning side has been replaced with a double French inswing door with retractable screens so both doors can be open during nice weather to get the full view of the deck and back yard.
Now instead of a patio you can enjoy part of the year, you have a deck that has entertaining options for sun, rain, and cool fall weather.
