Composite Deck with Gazebo, 6-Step Staircase & Enclosed Storage

Richmond Hill

Completed April 2025

This project involved the construction of a custom composite deck designed to combine elevated outdoor living with functional storage and shaded relaxation space. The deck features a six-step staircase providing smooth and comfortable access to grade level. The perimeter is finished with aluminum picket railing, delivering durability, safety, and a clean modern appearance. The lower section of the deck was fully enclosed using smart panel skirting, transforming the under-deck area into a protected storage space. An integrated access gate allows convenient entry while maintaining a seamless exterior finish. Positioned on one corner of the deck is a custom gazebo structure, creating a dedicated shaded seating area without interrupting the overall deck layout. The gazebo enhances usability while adding architectural character to the platform. Built using high-performance composite decking boards, the structure offers long-term durability, moisture resistance, and low-maintenance performance. The result is a multifunctional outdoor system that blends storage, comfort, and modern design into one cohesive structure.

Scope

Design and construction of a composite deck featuring six-step staircase, aluminum picket railing, full smart panel skirting enclosure with access gate, and integrated corner gazebo structure.

Challenge

Integrating a corner gazebo within the deck layout required precise structural planning to maintain load distribution and symmetry. Enclosing the under-deck area with smart panel skirting while incorporating a functional access gate demanded accurate framing and finish detailing to ensure durability and clean architectural lines.

Result

A composite deck with integrated gazebo, six-step access, aluminum picket railing, and enclosed storage — delivering functionality, durability, and refined outdoor living.

Downtown Backyard Wood Deck with Privacy Screens & Fence Upgrade

This project involved the construction of a custom wooden deck for a downtown Toronto home situated on a narrow urban lot with a compact backyard. Designed to maximize functionality within limited space, the deck provides structured outdoor living while maintaining privacy and accessibility. A side-entry staircase allows access from the front passageway, while a rear staircase with integrated gate provides direct backyard exit. To enhance privacy between closely spaced neighboring properties, privacy screens were installed along both sides of the deck. The rear boundary was enclosed with new fencing, creating a defined and secure outdoor area. Additionally, the left-side property line fence was replaced and upgraded to improve visual consistency and structural integrity alongside the new deck build. The result is a refined urban backyard solution that balances space efficiency, privacy, and durable wood craftsmanship within a tight downtown setting.

Composite Deck with Aluminum Picket Railing

This project involved the construction of a custom composite deck designed to provide a balanced and functional outdoor living space. Built using high-performance composite decking boards, the structure offers long-term durability, moisture resistance, and low-maintenance performance. The perimeter is finished with aluminum picket railing, combining structural strength with a clean and timeless appearance. While moderate in size, the layout was carefully planned to maximize usable space without overwhelming the backyard. The result is a refined and practical deck that enhances everyday outdoor living. This project reflects a well-proportioned residential deck solution — not oversized, not minimal — but thoughtfully built to suit the home’s scale and lifestyle needs.

Custom Wooden Ravine Staircase with Intermediate Deck

This project involved the construction of a custom wooden staircase system designed to provide safe and structured access from a backyard overlooking a ravine. The natural slope of the property created a steep and challenging descent that would have been difficult and unsafe without a formal access structure. To resolve this, a fully framed wooden staircase system was installed, incorporating multiple landings to break the vertical drop and improve comfort during descent. Partway down the staircase, a small intermediate deck platform was integrated on the left side. This landing deck creates a pause point within the descent and offers a usable outdoor space without requiring full access to the lower grade. The staircase continues beyond the deck platform, allowing direct access to the flat area at the bottom of the ravine slope. The railing system combines wood framing with aluminum pickets, delivering structural strength while maintaining visual openness. The result is a functional and aesthetically refined grade-transition solution that transforms a steep backyard into a safely accessible and usable landscape.
