Custom Cedar Railing & Top Deck Renovation in Fergus, Ontario
This expertly crafted top deck renovation in Fergus, Ontario, blends timeless natural materials with functional outdoor design. Featuring a handcrafted cedar railing and durable decking, this project enhances both the curb appeal and livability of this charming two-storey home.
This elevated deck renovation brings together timeless craftsmanship and purposeful design to create a space that feels both welcoming and enduring. Centered around a custom cedar railing, the project highlights the natural warmth and character of real wood, offering a refined yet rustic aesthetic that perfectly complements the home’s exterior. The cedar not only adds visual interest with its rich, golden tones and organic grain, but also provides lasting durability and resistance to the elements—making it ideal for Canadian seasons.
Each plank was carefully measured and installed to ensure precision and symmetry throughout the deck. The cedar railing was handcrafted on-site, with thoughtful spacing and clean joinery that balances safety with open sightlines, allowing for uninterrupted views of the surrounding property. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or entertaining guests on a summer evening, the space feels open, elevated, and securely framed by the railing’s natural beauty.
The deck boards themselves were selected for their strength and weather resistance, ensuring that the surface stays structurally sound and visually polished for years to come. Drainage and structural slope were meticulously planned to encourage longevity and reduce maintenance—details that speak to the craftsmanship and planning behind the build.
Below the surface, the support structure is built with pressure-treated lumber, ensuring a rock-solid foundation. Every screw, bracket, and joint was selected for corrosion resistance and long-term performance, making this a renovation that doesn't just look good on day one—it’s built to last through countless seasons of use.
This top deck not only enhances the function and flow of the upper level but also significantly boosts the home’s curb appeal and value. With custom cedar railing, premium materials, and attention to every detail, this renovation exemplifies the best in outdoor living—elevating everyday routines into experiences of comfort, beauty, and craftsmanship.
