PROJECTS
The TAXERA PROJECT

This is another all-PrimoPlank solid-plastic deck and arbor project. The project consists of 3 decks and one trapezoidal shade-arbor.

The decking is standard-grade cedar-color PrimoPlank 2x6's.

Everything else: railings, vertical lath-screen, stair stringers and risers, deck fascias, and arbor, is fabricated from above-standard grade white PrimoPlank.

 

The 2 decks in the rear yard are connected by a common mid-level platform at the base of their stairs. This mid-level platform is then connected to the yard by a central, flared step-cascade. This whole stair arrangement is recessed between the major decks to minimize the intrusion of the stairs into the shallow rear yard.

The shade-arbor over the side-deck is a carry-over of the Cloutier project's porch arbor. It is integrated into the side-deck's railing using an arched balustered-valence. The arbor's canopy is composed of 2x2 white square PVC tubing.

This series of decks could have been just plain-Jane were it not for the designer stair complex and diamond-squares on the railings of the rear decks and the designer arbor above the side deck. These few enhancements make all the difference between "plain-Jane" and " showpiece-Denise" .
