Westboro Rooftop Deck with Western Red Cedar
A Luxury View
This project was 2 side by side rooftop decks in Westboro. The 2 are nearly identical but mirrored and each are 500 square feet totaling 1000 square feet. They are 2 houses in a duplex and they are separated by a parapet wall. The deck is framed with pressure treated lumber and finished with Western Red Cedar.
As you can see we were building while the exterior finishing was in progress. This cedar deck will be a nice finish up against the James Hardie siding.
This project had its challenges being a rooftop but we did get the material up there safely. The other challenge was that it was a flat roof so we took all precautions not to damage it. Rooftop decks are also called flat roof decks, but the truth is the roof is not actually flat. This is demonstrated in the pictures as you can see the framing is contoured to the slight slope in the roof.
A rooftop deck is different from a ground supported deck in that it is not anchored in the same fashion.
There was a frameless glass panel railing that was added to this at a later date so that it didn’t get damaged with the other trades on site.
