No. 67 Decks · Mountain & Cabin
Covered Timber Deck with Outdoor Kitchen
This mountain home deck features dark wood boards, stone piers beneath heavy timber posts, a gabled roof creating a covered outdoor kitchen, and dark metal railings framed by surrounding pines and blooming wildflowers.
Design notes
Mountain and cabin design lets the landscape lead. Look for heavy timber and log, stacked stone and boulders, steel and dark stains that recede against the trees, and decks and terraces that reach toward the view. Fire is central — a stone fireplace, a fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs — and hot tubs earn their place. Planting is pines, aspens, grasses and wildflowers; paving is flagstone and gravel that can take the snow.
What to look for
- Board direction and how it changes the apparent size
- Edges: built-in benches and planters instead of rail where allowed
- Stairs wide enough to double as seating
