No. 109 Decks · Tropical

Weathered Timber Deck with Built-In Bench

Weathered timber decking surrounds a built-in wooden corner bench, accented by terracotta planters with flowering birds of paradise, wood-clad walls, and distant palms under a tropical daytime sky.

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
