Creative deck designs: Living out front
Welcoming front-yard deck
Instead of stairs, a three-level deck steps up to the front door of this traditional (raised) Hawaiian post-and-pier-house,
located on the island of Oahu.
The deck is built of ironwood using Tiger Deck construction (instead of nails, boards are hammered into metal “tiger claws”).
Owners Chris and Mary Beddow keep it looking new with occasional applications of a hardwood oil called Penofin.
