Koi Pond Deck

This Koi Pond Deck cantilevers 3' out over water giving the koi a shady place

to hide. Free-form lines enhance the Design, and a stair stepped bridge

takes you over the water to this koi pond deck.

The decking is Ipe, the railing elements old growth wr cedar and copper.

The Design problem here was to hide the equipment area, and soften

all the straight and rectangular lines.

The setting is above a golf

course set down in a canyon

and has a view of the ocean

beyond that far ridge line.

This ipe decking is the perfect wood for outdoor use, hard and stable, and it will soon weather to a beautiful silver, and require no maintence.

The copper pipe will soon

develope a nice patina,

being so close to the

ocean.

The stepped Zig Zag bridge

takes you ' across ' the pond,

and onto the deck space.

The railing components are

fabricated from clear, vertical

grained western red cedar,

another very nice outdoor

wood !

This beautiful old-growth W.R. cedar comes

from Vancouver Island, B.C. These are naturally downed trees, not clear-cut, and are so valuable that they go in and take

them out by helicopter !

The 5" wide board has over 120 growth rings!

It's only inches to the

pond surface.

The koi like to hang-out

under the broad overhang !

The hatch gives access to

the pond equipment

Joe,

Thanks for coming in and 'rescuing' our koi pond project. After seeing your design solutions for this project we knew we wouldn't be happy with anything less. Thank you for sharing your vision, artistry, passion and meticulous attention to detail. ...and our fish like it too!
