Enclosed deck
We expanded the deck to the edge of the house, covered and screened in the deck, added windows to lower walls to allow homeowner to still keep track of kids without having to constantly stand at the edge. We poured a concrete pad for the grill, and changed the door and steps to the side to keep a more balanced and more aesthetically look.
Skirting along the bottom of the deck helps keep the kids, dogs, and critters out from under the deck,
