The Swinging Bench Deck
A backyard deck built for laid-back comfort, featuring a swinging bench under a custom pergola. Includes dining space, a grill zone, and tiered steps that blend into the surrounding landscape.

About the Project
This deck started with one goal: build a backyard space that invites you to slow down. The centerpiece is a custom swinging bench hung beneath a sturdy pergola—perfect for reading, relaxing, or just watching the world go by. We paired that feature with a dedicated dining zone, barbecue station, and built-in transitions down to the lawn. The white railings and trim details help brighten the space and add contrast to the darker decking boards. It’s a low-maintenance setup with just enough visual flair to make the whole backyard feel like a retreat.
