Elevated Decks That Make the Most of Sloped Yards
Hillsides, walkout basements and second-story doors all call for an elevated deck. We design and build tall decks in Nashville with heavy posts, solid bracing and safe stairs, so a steep yard becomes a view.

Elevated Decks, Done Right
Tall decks carry more load on taller posts, so footings, bracing and connections get extra attention. We plan the framing for height and wind, add bracing where it is needed and design stairs and landings that are comfortable to use.
The space underneath can become a dry storage area or a lower patio, and the deck itself can capture treetop views and breezes that a ground-level yard never could. We show you the options before we build.
Music City Deck & Fence brings elevated decks to homes and businesses in Nashville and across 14 Middle Tennessee cities.

Are elevated decks safe?
When they are designed and built correctly, yes. We size posts, footings, bracing and connections for the height and loads, and build to the requirements for your address.
Can you build on a steep slope?
Often yes. Slopes are one of the most common reasons for an elevated deck, and we plan footings, bracing and stairs around the grade. We look at the site before we recommend a plan.
Can the space underneath be dry?
Yes. Under-deck drainage and ceilings can turn it into a dry patio or storage area. We can add the system during construction or later.
