Ottawa Deck Contractor - A Kanata Pool Deck
A Deck with a Purpose!
This pressure treated deck in Kanata has 2 levels with specific purposes. Located in the Bridlewood neighborhood, the upper deck gives access to the above ground pool and houses the BBQ. The lower deck holds the gazebo which creates shade and protects from the rain on those muggy days.
Pictured is the well built – beefy gazebo. Often times a pre-fabricated gazebo will work if the deck is planned out properly to suit.
A well-designed deck makes all the difference when it comes to time to use it and outfit it with furniture. If you some help designing your deck….just reach out!
The deck sits on helical piles. However we did run into troubles, and those troubles being the granite Canadian Shield. Because of the severity of the rock we couldn’t install the helical piles next to the pool without the risk on disturbing it. So the decision was made by mother nature to use concrete footings next to the pool.
The deck has a butt jointed picture frame with a 2×4 trim. The underside of the deck is closed with skirting of vertical fence boards and the upper deck has an access door for storage.
Adding a simple door to the underside of the deck increases it’s function creating a little storage for small items. Given that a lot of our project are in small spaces in the city of Ottawa…every bit of space you can use or save is a huge bonus
The railing is a standard railing with 2×4 railings, black aluminum ballusters and a 2×4 cap.
The black ballusters are an made Ottawa based called Titan Building Products and are a low cost addition which look great with a pressure treated or cedar deck railing
There is a set of stairs that goes from the upper pool deck down to the deck that has the gazebo. There is a second set of stairs on the west side that goes from the upper deck to the ground level.
The gazebo is a pre fabricated kit by Yardistry. We have installed a few of these kits and they are honestly a quality product and a good option if you don’t need a custom size or specific details.
