Deck Builders Wasaga Beach – We have been builders in Wasaga Beach for nearly 20 years. Though it is a fairly simple deck, it features wind walls, a privacy fence, and a swim spa.
Located on a sideroad between Wasaga and Elmvale, these clients like their privacy. We created simple 3D designs to help them envision what it would look like, and after a couple of revisions, we had a plan that they were pleased with.
They needed a large reinforced slab for the swim spa, so luckily, the client owns a backhoe we could use for excavating.
Deck Builders Wasaga Beach: Deck Specifications
This deck was built on helical footings and has our standard PVC package that features larger joists with short-span beams and joist and beam tape. The ends of beams, posts, and joists are sealed. This is how we increase the durability of pressure-treated wood for frames.
Azek decking means long-term durability and a limited lifetime warranty on the decking. Glass Rails by Vista cost a little more, but they are a substantial railing with excellent long-term durability.
We included a wind wall on the deck. With the wind off Georgian Bay, it can feel like being in a wind tunnel. Wind walls need robust framing within the deck to resist winds-especially when they are 6′ high.
Prep for the Tub – Deck Builders Wasaga Beach
A tub this size cannot be lifted by people into place. It comes on a truck and a crane sets it in place. The slab needed to be perfectly flat and about 8″ thick with mesh and rebar. If the slab isn’t flat it could cause the pool shell to fracture.
Swim spa decks need to be built before the spa is in place. A good deck builder in Wasaga Beach knows that the swim spa may settle over time, so, the finished decking should be a couple of inches below the spa’s lip. This spa was made by Hydropool and they are one of the best in the market.
We pop into all of our previous projects from time to time. On one such visit to check on this project, our client Shane mentioned that he had a carpenter install a prefab 3 season room on the deck. He said, “The carpenter took out his level and checked the deck…then turned to him and said — Who the Hell Built this? I have never seen a deck this straight and level”. Shane seemed shocked- but pleased!
