Ep 5. The Hot Tub Deck
- May 28, 2011
During the fifth episode of Decked Out's first season titled "The Hot Tub Deck," fans are in for a thrill as Paul Lafrance and his team transform a small and outdated backyard into a luxurious and stunning entertainment space.
The homeowners are an active family that loves to spend time outdoors. Their backyard sits on a sloped terrain, which was once home to a rickety old deck that took up most of the space and was barely holding up. They contacted Paul, as they were looking for a unique and functional outdoor living area to suit their needs.
Paul and the team came in ready to get their hands dirty. The first order of business was to demolish the old deck, which they did in no time, creating room for the new project. They installed a massive hot tub, the focal point of the design, on the upper deck, which was accessible from the house. The lower deck was designed to be a haven for outdoor living. There were comfortable seats, a dining area, a barbecue, and a small kitchenette, ensuring nothing was left to chance.
The experts used durable and weather-resistant materials, ensuring the deck stood the test of time. The flooring was from Timber Tech, which was perfect for the weather and complimented the hot tub. The custom decking had a clean, sleek look that opened up the space to provide a unified look. To ensure the decks were safe and secure, they used galvanized steel framing and aluminum railings.
To make things even more interesting, Paul decided to create a hot tub enclosure, that would allow for privacy and protection from the elements. They installed a high-end, transparent, retractable roof that went over the tub. The roof was operated using a remote control, allowing the homeowners to adjust it according to their preferences.
To add more excitement to the outdoor space, the team added a variety of lighting effects throughout the space. These lights were strategically placed to showcase the beautiful environment while creating a warm and inviting ambience that would allow the family to enjoy the area even at night.
Throughout the design process, Paul displayed his vast knowledge and experience in creating unique and captivating outdoor living areas. The design was practical, comfortable and functional, ensuring that the family would get to enjoy their outdoor space all year round.
In conclusion, "The Hot Tub Deck," showcased Paul and his team's creativity as they transformed a steep and cramped backyard into an incredible outdoor entertainment space. The hosts were able to deliver an elegant and functional design that served the homeowner's needs and exceeded their expectations. Decked Out's season 1 episode 5 is definitely one to watch, don't miss out!
