Sprawling Timber Deck with Fire Pit
At dusk, this weathered timber deck features a square stone fire pit, overhead string lights, and potted tropical greenery beneath tall palms beside a white clapboard porch.
Design notes
Tropical decks use warm hardwoods like ipe or teak, often floating over planting or beside a pool, with slatted screens for privacy and shade sails or thatch overhead.
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
