Covered Deck and Railing in Farmington, Utah

Project story

A ground-level backyard deck with a solid roof, short steps, and white railing with black balusters.

This Farmington project creates a defined outdoor room directly outside the home’s rear doors. The finished layout combines a broad deck surface, a solid roof over the main gathering area, short yard-access steps, and open two-tone railing.

The Finished Layout

The deck runs along the back of the home and serves two exterior doors. Its low elevation keeps the platform close to the yard, while centered steps provide a direct transition between the deck and lawn.

Covered Outdoor Space

A solid roof spans the main deck area to create a sheltered place for seating and everyday outdoor use. The open sides preserve the backyard and mountain views while the roof defines the deck as a separate outdoor room.

White rails and posts frame the perimeter, while black balusters keep the railing visually open and add contrast against the light exterior of the home.

The Result

The completed project connects the home’s rear doors, protected deck space, and yard in one compact layout. The combination of cover, railing, and short steps makes the backyard easier to use without isolating the deck from the surrounding lawn.
