New Scandia Township, Minnesota Outdoor Deck and Recreation Construction
Deck construction starts with code-compliant footings, structural green-treated wood and finished with cedar or composite material decking.
Decks can be attached to a house, placed as standalone gathering areas, or built surrounding an entertainment area such as a pool or spa. Privacy and
Security fencing around swimming pools may be required for code in your community.

Upper story decks may be constructed without stairs in situations where there are security concerns, pets, or small children.
Most municipalities will have code requirements for safety railings on upper story constructions. Many newly constructed houses will have pre-existing headers
to which decks can be attached.

With the right coloring and landscape, decks are a natural extension to the home, and a transition point from indoors to outdoors.

The deck exterior finish can be constructed to match the house color scheme using Procell™ deck system and PVC railings. In addition, privacy walls can be placed on the deck. The UnderDeck® System can be used to hide the typical deck joists to provide an attractive ceiling and also redirect water.

Patio Decks can be constructed to match the floor level of a main entrance. They can extend the
floor space of a house. Patio decks can be elevated above existing original slabs to enhance the
landscaping and set apart an outdoor entertainment area. Patio decks constructed near the ground level
may not need safety railings in your city. Multiple levels can be built to make the transition to the home entrance more gradual.
Landscaping and light fixtures also can be integrated.
