The existing stair system on this deck was simply unsafe and falling apart so we rebuilt a new stair system using Trex® Select Lava Rock composite decking. This stair system was very important to the owners because it allowed access to a second outdoor living space patio area located in a shaded garden space area.
Because the owners are a little older and wanted to be able to access the stairs and outdoor living space in there shaded garden area when it was later solar powered deck lighting was installed on the main deck level and on several steps.
We reinforced the existing concrete stoop show below before installing the new deck system.
