Heilman Deck & Fence built this deck with catio in Kenmore, Washington, for a family seeking a covered outdoor living space and secure outdoor access for cats. TimberTech Advanced PVC decking in Vintage Weathered Teak forms the deck surface beneath a cedar-framed pergola with translucent polycarbonate roofing. The project addressed both the elevated deck platform and the fully enclosed catio structure as a single integrated build.
Cedar posts and beams support the pergola frame, anchored to the elevated deck platform with steel post base hardware. A six-foot single-sided composite deck board privacy wall runs along one face of the deck, facing inward. Cedar top and bottom rails with black aluminum balusters form the railing system, and wire mesh catio panels with a screen door complete the enclosure.
The covered deck with catio and pergola in Kenmore, Washington, stays dry year-round under polycarbonate roof panels that also allow natural light through. The catio enclosure provides cats with safe outdoor access, and the covered structure keeps the deck functional in wet Pacific Northwest weather. TimberTech Advanced PVC decking requires no staining or sealing, reducing the long-term maintenance demands of the finished space.
