A pressure-treated deck with a custom radial edge gave this Roswell home the expansive rear outdoor space the homeowner had been looking for, without pushing the support structure any further into the yard than the original footprint allowed. The existing rear deck was worn out and undersized, and the client wanted every square foot of usable space the structure could support. Ace & Hammer Construction solved this by maximizing the allowable cantilever beyond the main support beam and adding a sweeping teardrop edge to increase surface area in a way that felt intentional rather than improvised.
Achieving the radial deck edge required careful planning, as the curved perimeter had to be engineered precisely to accept the Fortress Al13 aluminum railing system without compromise. The team mapped out multiple radial dimensions before committing to the final angle, ensuring the premium railing followed the curve cleanly at every post. The finished deck sits beneath an existing screened porch, and the photos reveal an under-deck ceiling system with tongue-and-groove cedar boards and steel column supports, creating a covered outdoor living area at the ground level that functions as a second usable space below the main deck.
Wood deck construction at this scale, with a radial edge, a maximized cantilever, and a full stair run connecting multiple levels, delivers an outdoor living upgrade that changes how a home is used every day. A homeowner considering a similar project can expect a finished result that feels custom and considered from every angle, with the structural integrity and craftsmanship to support years of outdoor living. The Roswell home is a clear example of what is possible when function and design are treated as equally important goals.
