Olivia’s Process: How She Transformed Their Deck

When it comes to a DIY project, especially one as important as a deck, every decision counts. After spending all summer building a deck for her backyard, Olivia didn’t want to throw up any railing. She wanted one that would fit the vibe. 

The Dilemma: Safety Meets Style

Olivia wanted the backyard to be more functional for her family, with its natural privacy and outdoor views. Initially, she considered horizontal balusters, but these were deemed “climbable” and wouldn’t pass inspection, which narrowed her choices to a glass railing or vertical balusters.

She wanted something that would match the sleek and modern style of their home while being easy to work with on her own. After researching her options, Olivia chose Nuvo Iron’s Pre-drilled Railing Kit.

Making It Happen

This kit provided two things that she really wanted: being customizable and easy to work with. Olivia was able to personalize her deck and the kit’s pre-drilled design saved her lots of time. 

What’s Next for Olivia’s Deck?

Her plans include staining the wood to match her privacy fences, adding a custom cedar drink rail for added style, and building a gate at the top of the stairs. For Olivia, this deck is more than a project – it’s a space she’s tailoring to fit her vision and lifestyle.

Gather, Grill, and Relax

Olivia’s backyard deck is like a VIP pass to endless family memories and weekend fun! It’s like the end of your favourite comfort movie: picture the kids playing safely with sturdy railings, the grill sizzling, and friends hanging out. It’s the perfect setup for creating moments that feel just a little extra special – right in your own backyard!
