Composite Pool Deck Build with Multi-Level Access – Salem Township MI
At Titan Decks, every project starts with structure—and ends with a space that completely transforms how homeowners use their backyard.
This featured project in Salem Township showcases a custom composite pool deck designed to create clean access, defined elevations, and a low-maintenance outdoor space built for long-term performance.
Project Overview
This build centered around a raised pool deck with multiple transition points between the home, yard, and pool area. The goal was to create a layout that felt natural and easy to navigate, while maintaining a strong, durable structure underneath.
The project moved through multiple visible stages—from framing, to decking installation, to final railing—highlighting the importance of proper sequencing in deck construction.
- Composite decking installed across the main deck surface
- Multi-level layout with defined entry and transition zones
- Open framing and structure designed for long-term stability
- Black aluminum railing added to complete the perimeter
Built in Phases for Precision
One of the standout aspects of this project is how clearly the construction stages come together.
Early framing established the footprint and elevation of the deck. Once complete, the composite decking was installed across the main surface while leaving key areas—like stairs and transitions—open for final adjustments.
This approach ensures:
- Proper alignment across the entire deck surface
- Clean transitions between elevations
- Strong, consistent structural support throughout
Decking Installed Before Final Details
Several images from this project capture a critical stage:
the decking is fully installed, but railing and stairs are still being completed.
This is intentional.
By installing decking first, we’re able to:
- Lock in the primary deck surface
- Fine-tune stair placement and access points
- Ensure railing lines are straight and consistent
This level of detail is what separates a standard build from a professionally executed deck.
Stair and Entry Construction
The stair system and entry points were built after the main deck surface was established, allowing for precise positioning and clean integration with the surrounding space.
You’ll notice in the images:
- Stair framing completed before decking is applied
- Open access areas maintained until final layout decisions are locked in
- Smooth transitions between ground level and deck surface
This phased approach results in a more natural flow and a better finished product.
Clean Finish with Black Aluminum Railing
The final stage of the project brings everything together with a black aluminum railing system that defines the space without blocking views.
- Strong perimeter safety
- Clean, modern appearance
- Minimal maintenance required
The railing complements the composite decking and gives the entire project a finished, cohesive look.
Built for Michigan Conditions
Like all Titan Decks projects, this build was designed with Michigan’s changing seasons in mind.
Composite decking provides:
- Resistance to moisture and temperature swings
- Long-term durability without warping or splintering
- Low maintenance compared to traditional wood
Combined with proper framing and spacing, this deck is built to perform year after year.
