Roof Deck Railing over a Garage
Project Overview
Black railing installed around a flat roof deck built over a garage at a cedar-sided home, with the deck surface finished in a light coating.
Analysis
The deck sits over a garage with a drop to the driveway, so the guard was anchored through the roof assembly with flashed plates to protect the membrane.
Process
Measure the deck, fabrication, install, then a water test at every penetration.
Outcome
A safe, watertight guard around the roof deck that keeps the driveway and street views open.

Materials Used
