Hi Lauren, good question. The white perforated PVC pipes simply act as temporary holding tanks in the event the environment/native soil below is saturated and/or cannot infiltrate the volume of water immediately.
It's bi-axle geogrid. Typically used on retaining wall applications. In this install it was used an an edge restraint to prevent the pavers from shifting or spreading over time.
Original deck built with traditional railing system and then it changed to glass panels or did you combine 2 different houses? Initially there are windows with the wood/traditional railing posts and then when the glass railing goes in the windows are now doors. Also, looks like some dark material was used on a portion of the deck closest to the camera. Did it put on all the deck or just a portion and what was it for?
All one job. The house windows were removed and a sliding door installed (not by us). The black material hanging between the joist was installed to catch surface runoff and discharge water away from the home and out from under the deck. This was quite a lot of effort for minimal gains. We have not done it since.
Hi Florina, thank you for your comment. The railings are custom made and were in the neighborhood or $6500-9000.00 CDN supplied and installed (permits included). The deck was in the range of $15,000-20,000 CDN designed, permits, installation.
