Quote HistoryQuoted: We did the wire rail on our last deck when we refurbed/expanded (it was postage stamp size to start). Expensive, but excellent for minimizing view obstruction. It's also very, very strong, with turnbuckles that are easily adjusted to take up any stretch. Dogs thought they'd be able to push through/under. Nope, not happening. Would use again. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/457055/DSC_0162_JPG-2347722.jpg Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: did someone say deck pic? https://i.postimg.cc/02jbTfJQ/20150613-182142.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/rsnzdd7M/20150613-182157.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/h4pXZwv6/20150613-182230.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/kGXBXN1T/20150613-200700.jpg 12x36 + 6x42 IIRC, I built this five or six years ago now.

I’ve got a micro deck- tough to even see with the untrimmed hedges enveloping it.
Like a teddy bear eye, lost in the fur . . . |

Mine both have a roof over them. IMO one without a roof is pretty pointless. Keeps the rain and sun off for you and the deck.

The almost daily rains and ravenous hoards of skeeters make decks totally useless here. We call our screened and covered lounging and grilling areas porches. Lanai's if you have the gay.

Quote HistoryQuoted: My OCD would turn homicidal if I had to look at posts sticking out from under decorative covers. It's not finished yet. Landscaping has to be finished to the level we want before finishing the post covers. |

What made you want to mount the umbrella sideways? Take a look at the security camera in the third photo. Just from a couple of the visual clues I'm guessing the interior architecture is pretty impressive. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Disappointed in the lack of back lighting on all these decks…everybody knows lighting is the key I drove a screw into the siding and hang a 4' LED shoplight while grilling at night. It lights up the whole neighborhood. I think for the final lighting plan I will incorporate a few of these |

OP, our deck looked pretty similar to yours. We thought about putting one of the Costco gazebo's on it, but ultimately tore it out and built a screened in porch instead. Best part of the whole house. We also put in a stamped concrete patio next to it, which is where the grill, firepit, and adirondack chairs live
