Building an Open Deck into a Year-Round Outdoor Space

Client Goals & Challenges

The homeowner wanted a functional outdoor space that could be enjoyed rain or shine. The existing deck needed to be built out and reinforced, and a sturdy metal roof was required to provide year-round protection. Challenges included:

• Ensuring structural stability for a freestanding roof

• Creating a seamless aesthetic that complemented the home

• Maximizing durability for long-term outdoor use

The Approach & Execution

• Deck Construction: Installed a sturdy foundation with pressure-treated lumber. Used weather-resistant decking materials for durability. Integrated support posts for the future roof installation.

• Metal Roof Installation: Built a freestanding roof structure over the deck. Installed a high-quality metal roof for long-term weather resistance. Designed the slope to ensure proper drainage for rain and snow.

• Final Touches: Aligned the deck and roof with the home’s existing exterior. Ensured all materials were low-maintenance and long-lasting.

Results & Outcome

• The once-exposed deck is now a protected, all-weather outdoor space

• The metal roof provides full coverage, allowing the homeowner to enjoy the deck year-round

• The upgrade adds value and functionality to the property
