Four design details stand out for this project in St. Louis, Missouri. First, the cedar deck was built with a slight level change to designate an outdoor dining area. Second, a pergola shades the step-up platform for comfort and further visual definition. Third, black metal pickets were included in the railing for a modern look to an otherwise traditional design. Fourth, the deck was designed to complement an existing hot tub and landscaping too. Project by Archadeck of West County.
