No. 7 Decks · Classic

Timber Deck with Metal Spiral Stairs

This two-level outdoor living space features an elevated timber deck with black metal railing, spiral stairs descending to a paved under-deck patio, and cushioned seating surrounded by potted ferns.

Design notes

Classic decks are redwood or cedar with traditional balusters, a picture-frame border and wide stairs that double as seating. They tie into the house at floor level and are stained to show the grain.

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
