Second-Story Deck and Above Ground Pool

Project Brief

Weather-Worn and Ready for Some TLC

Weather can be tough on decks and pools. Without proper preventative maintenance and selecting the right materials and finishes, outdoor living spaces aren’t always made to last in Orange County, NY. After all, we experience extremes in all four seasons! This makes for beautiful sights, but it can also wreak havoc on an unprepared deck owner.

After speaking with the homeowner, it was clear that this space would be maximized in any seasons possible. With that in mind, we set to work designing and building a second story deck with a view of their above ground pool. We also wanted to make sure that the pool was easily accessible and safe year-round.

From Nightmare to Daydream

It was clear that this space was going to be used to the maximum! With that in mind, we worked closely with the homeowner to build the staycation backyard of their dreams. They wanted to maximize hosting spaces on multiple levels, provide shaded areas, and create a stable level to reach their above ground pool.

Building a second-story deck created a hosting space on multiple levels. This also created the perfect shaded space for those looking to take a break from the rays or to enjoy the outdoors despite a little rain. By designing and building a ground level around the above ground pool, we were able to create easy and safe access to the pool from any angle.

Second-Story Deck That’s Second to None

Part of the backyard facelift was to make sure it was low maintenance. To accomplish this, we selected Azek decking material. This is easy to care for in any season. Azek decking provides a beautiful finish that requires seasonal sweeping and an annual hosing. Minimal effort, maximal enjoyment!
