Ellington, CT–Trex® Spiced Rum Deck with Black Aluminum Railings

About the Project

Project Overview
In Ellington, Connecticut, we delivered a modern elevated deck built with Trex Transcend® Tropicals Spiced Rum decking. The homeowners wanted a space that felt polished and long-lasting—and this build nails both. We installed Trex® Signature black aluminum railings between crisp white composite posts for a sharp contrast. Clean white vinyl trim wraps the fascia and stairs, adding to the refined look. The result is a raised outdoor living area that’s as low-maintenance as it is high-impact.

Project Highlights
✅ Trex Transcend® Tropicals Spiced Rum decking for deep, rich tone and texture
✅ Trex® Signature black aluminum railing system for a contemporary edge
✅ White composite posts offer contrast and architectural balance
✅ White vinyl fascia and stair trim tie everything together
✅ Elevated platform design with concrete landing and stair access
✅ Under-deck drainage area prepped for future usability
