Ipe Deck w/ Stainless Cable Railing
Project: Build 14’x16′ Ipe deck
Location: Wedgwood
Project began with the intention to build a deck with a composite decking surface, but after some research we decided to move in the direction of Ironwood (Ipe). The stainless railing was built by RailPro and installed as a surface mounted system.

Phinney Deck
Project: New Deck. TimberTech decking with painted white banister and railing.
Location: Phinney Ridge, Seattle.
Sub-Decking built using 6 cement pillars w/ 6×6 posts. The two sets of three posts each carry a 6×8 beam. Underneath the decking and carried by the 6×8 beams are 2X10 joists. This project was built with attention to the size of the house and its relationship with the deck. We designed for 6×6 posts underneath and within the railing to translate the house’s dimensions into the framing of the deck. The white-wood fascia and railing accent the house’s existing trim.
Beneath the deck we installed washed river rock framed within a border of 1/8″ x 6″cold-pressed metal edging.
Cedar Planter
Project: Build Raised Cedar Planter
Location: Shoreline
I used 30 4x4x8 clear cedar posts – and 4 tight-knot 2x6x8 cedar plates.
The lap joint used at each corner offers a stable structure, with each successive layer bolted and nailed to the layer beneath it. 60d nails and 5″ lags were used as fasteners. Stainless screws were used to adhere the top plates.

Location: Phinney Ridge, Seattle.
Project consisted of removing old deck and disparate landscaping. First item was to rebuild the deck with Azek composite decking and TimberTech railing. The decking structure was constructed using 6″x6″ posts with a 6″x8″ beam, offering both better structural integrity and a simple, modern look.
The patio was constructed with Abbotsford’s flagstone paver “Copper Canyon”. Bordering the patio on the north is a Roman Pisa block wall w/ cap.
