Expert Deck Design

At FENCEMasters, we’re not just building decks; we’re crafting personalized extensions of your home. We focus on ensuring your deck not only complements your home aesthetically but also enhances your outdoor living experience. Whether it’s for quiet morning coffees or lively evening gatherings, we aim to create a space that encourages you to step outside and enjoy.

Our process is collaborative and detail-oriented, ensuring your vision becomes a reality. To aid in visualizing your dream deck, we can provide detailed CAD drawings. These renderings allow you to see and tweak the design before construction begins, ensuring every detail is to your liking.

Superior Deck Construction

The excellence of our deck construction is unparalleled. We build with an unwavering commitment to durability and quality.

Our decks are anchored by substantial 6″x 6″ posts, providing a sturdy and reliable base. The beams, composed of triple-stacked 2x8s, ensure a robust and enduring structure.
We exclusively use Simpson Strong-Tie fasteners, renowned for their strength and reliability, to assemble these components securely.
Every framing cut receives an end coat treatment, a crucial step in preserving the timber’s integrity and extending its lifespan.
All exterior parts of the deck are meticulously screwed in place. This method significantly reduces the potential for squeaks and prevents boards from loosening over time, ensuring a consistently solid and quiet surface.

Cutting corners to save costs will never be a practice at FENCEMasters. We believe in the principle that a deck’s structural integrity is paramount. With FENCEMasters, you are not just investing in a deck; you are investing in years of enjoyment, safety, and the assurance of quality that stands the test of time.

Helical Piles: The Foundation of Stability

Innovative Design: Helical piles, resembling large screws, are deeply embedded into the earth using specialized machinery. A helix plate at the base of each pile ensures firm anchorage.

Versatile Support: These piles are adept at securely supporting a variety of structures, including houses, patios, garden sheds, and fences. They are suitable for both new constructions and existing structures.

Superior Stability: Unlike traditional concrete foundations, helical piles extend below the frost line, making them resistant to soil movement. This unique feature ensures exceptional stability, even in areas with challenging soil conditions or on uneven terrain.

Crafting Decks with Quality Materials

Pressure Treated Spruce (MicroPro® Sienna) for Durable Decking

MicroPro® represents a breakthrough in wood preservation technology. This innovative method is ideal for decks, fences, and other outdoor structures, ensuring your construction withstands harsh external conditions. Certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), MicroPro® is specifically designed for the Canadian climate and wood types, offering optimal protection.

Versatile and Safe Usage:

Its versatile nature means it’s suitable for a variety of applications – whether above ground, in direct ground contact, or even in freshwater environments. The MicroPro® system incorporates a micronized copper azole (MCA) formulation, combining the protective properties of copper with azoles. This duo acts as a powerful shield against fungal decay and termite damage. The pressure treatment process ensures deep penetration of preservatives, giving your deck enduring strength and safety.

Choosing MicroPro® Sienna for your deck not only guarantees a robust and long-lasting structure but also peace of mind, knowing your outdoor space is built with best-in-class material.

Western Red Cedar – The Natural Choice for Your Deck

Our Western Red Cedar decks, crafted from Premium 1st Grade lumber sourced from British Columbia, offer both longevity and natural beauty. With a life expectancy ranging from 15 to 25 years, this material is a resilient choice, particularly in varied climate conditions.

Western Red Cedar stands out for its rich, vibrant hues, providing a deck with a uniquely natural and inviting appearance. This wood’s beauty can be preserved in its natural state, gradually obtaining a graceful grey patina akin to Pressure Treated (PT) wood. For those preferring a maintained look, the cedar can be coated post-installation (recommended after 3 weeks), offering versatility in aesthetic choices.

Ideal for those who enjoy spending time outdoors, the wood’s natural warmth and smoothness is perfect for those who like to walk around barefoot!

Embrace the blend of durability, beauty, and comfort with our Western Red Cedar decks – a perfect addition to enhance the charm of your backyard.
