High End Washington Residence

AS&D railing was used in the construction of a 1,500 sq. ft. hillside deck overlooking Puget Sound. The deck designer, the Leren Company of Washington, opted for a vertical cable railing system. The design features a set of stairs connecting spa pool deck to an upper deck where a gas fire pit is located. To meet local code, each gate into the spa area has a safety alarm, and the spa is completely enclosed around the perimeter with AS&D aluminum railing.

Washington state code requires at least a 48-inch- high guard fence around swim structures. To address this, the designer installed the AS&D Railing System on the earth planter, a 36-inch- wide level area that is less than 30 inches below the front edge of the deck. In doing this, the designer was able to drop the elevation of the guard fence without reducing its overall height. This provided the clients uninterrupted views of nearby Puget Sound while maintaining design consistency with the rest of the deck.

AS&D Aluminum Railing requires very little maintenance from owners and provides all necessary safety and design functions.
