Before this Rochester deck takes shape, we’re starting with New Hampshire winters in mind.

We’re replacing the existing deck with a new 14′ × 20′ elevated deck. This photo shows one of its supports: a precast concrete post resting on a composite footing pad.

That round pad at the bottom has an important job. It spreads the weight over a larger area of soil, while the concrete column and steel bracket support the wooden post above ground.

Why does that matter here? When moisture in the soil freezes, it can expand and push upward. That’s why the foundation’s depth, footing size, and soil preparation all need to suit the site. The product and the installation work together.

Because the concrete post is already cured, this system also avoids pouring concrete on-site and waiting for it to set.

There’s plenty more to come on this project. For now, we’re sharing the work beneath the deck—the part that supports everything above it.

Why are there slotted panels outside these deck doors?

They’re ThruFlow drainage panels, designed to let rainwater pass through the surface at the doorway.

When planning a deck, it’s easy to focus on colors, railings, and layout. But the connection between the house and deck deserves just as much attention. How will someone move through the doorway? And where will water go when it rains?

For this project, these panels are part of a plan to support a more accessible transition while helping manage water near the entrances. They don’t make the doorway waterproof—proper flashing and the surrounding construction still matter.

Can these drainage panels get clogged?

Leaves and dirt can collect over the openings, so a little upkeep matters. Clear away loose debris and rinse the panels as needed, especially during fall.

The openings give rainwater a path through the deck. Keeping them clear helps that path stay open.

A look at how this deck has come together! Deckorators Voyage decking in Sedona, black cable railings, and matching privacy panels give this 10′ × 27′ space a warm, coordinated finish.

A few final details remain, and we’re glad the homeowner is so happy with the craftsmanship.
