I am looking for ideas for what to do to a cement deck that extends 14′ out of the back of my house. I would rather not drill it out because it’s a foot deep. I’ve been considering covering it with wood or slate, but open to ideas and experiences.

Surface the 8′ to 10′ depth with combustible wood decking where code compliant and surround the remaining with incombustible blue-stone, making sure your drain is open for de-cluttering.

You can paint it with some innovative texture or seek help from a professional contractor.

Hi Carriage House – have been thinking of a similar solution to yours. Did you do the work yourself? Any tips – did you secure the deck to the patio?
thanks

Hi bqeresident1. Please see attach’s w. ref to wood deck and surrounding bluestone on existing concrete back-yard. Wood deck is free-standing. Bluestone is set on bed of gravel & insulation.

Our neighbors colored cement Andrew cut grooves to make it look like bluestone tiles. It is beautiful and very convincing even right next to our actual bluestone tiles.
