2 Story Decks With Two Levels of Outdoor Living

A two-story deck gives you an upper deck off the kitchen and a covered lower patio beneath, connected by a staircase. We design and build 2 story decks in Nashville that work as one outdoor room.

About the Service

2 Story Decks, Done Right

Two levels let you split your yard into zones: dining and lounging up top, a shaded patio, a hot tub or a play space below. The upper deck becomes the roof for the lower level, which keeps rain and sun off.

Framing, stairs and drainage have to work together on a two-story build, and we plan all three from the start so the structure is strong and the lower level stays dry.

Music City Deck & Fence brings 2 story decks to homes and businesses in Nashville and across 14 Middle Tennessee cities.

Questions About 2 Story Decks

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

How tall can a two-story deck be?

It depends on your house and local requirements. We design to what your home and address allow and explain the options.

Can the lower level be enclosed?

Often yes. A lower level can be screened or finished as a porch or room. Let us know what you have in mind and we will plan for it.

Will the lower level stay dry?

With an under-deck drainage system, usually yes. We explain the options and can build them in as part of the deck.
