Newlyweds Whitney and Joey have just purchased their dream home in an exclusive gated community. While they love the inside, the existing deck has some serious issues. It's old, rotting and doesn't fit their needs. Plus, their aging dog is having trouble using the stairs. So, they challenge the Mega Crew to build a $200,000 deck complete with an outdoor kitchen, state-of-the-art hot tub and a custom staircase for their small dog. The design plans also call for a circular outdoor living room with rounded gas fire pit and pergola, a second seating area with fire pit located near their new hot tub, and a custom iron staircase.
All-New Deck for Repeat Client
A former Mega Decks customer buys a new house and needs a new deck. Can designer Andy and the build crew live up to the client's heightened expectations and deliver a second mega deck that beats the first? Jason leads a $225,000 build that includes a complicated roof on existing architecture, a soaring tongue-and-groove ceiling with a skylight, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace with an articulated mounted TV, a state-of-the-art grilling station, four seating areas, moveable glass walls and a 14-foot fire rail with stone masonry.
Dramatic Cliffside Triple Deck
Transforming a home's 20-year-old wooden deck with views of Pikes Peak, Colorado, into a $400,000 mega deck requires a complete demo and rebuild, complete with 13-foot-tall stone wood-burning fireplace, sliding glass panels to enclose the living area, gas fire pit, two dining areas and a grill station complete with granite countertops and a kegerator. Plans also include redoing a kids' play deck and a master bedroom deck. The challenge is that the property sits on the side of a cliff, with 40-foot drops off the deck level and no access from the postage stamp-sized backyard. Master builder James resorts to innovative building methods to get the job done, all while battling 60-mph wind gusts, blinding fog and death-defying heights.
Southern Plantation-Style Deck
A couple and their adult kids want to add a new deck to their D'Arbonne Lake home in Louisiana. The current deck is rotting and offers no protection from the heat or insects, so Garth's Southern plantation-style design includes enclosed rooms with air conditioning, as well as two fire features and whirlpool tubs.
Log Cabin Luxe
The only downside to spending weekends in this custom log cabin in the mountains of Breckenridge, CO, is its scrawny open-air deck that's only useful a few days a year. To help this tiny deck achieve mega status, massive 40-foot-long Western red cedar logs are trucked in from Canada and diamond-studded chainsaws are used alongside heavy machinery to begin the transformation. The finished product will have a three-tier pizza oven with granite serving station, a six-foot gas fire rail with custom masonry and extra tall glass panels to maximize this luxe log cabin's majestic views.
Ultimate Party Deck
A couple in Black Forest, Colorado, dislikes their home's small, exposed deck that leaves guests crowded in the tiny hearth room. Garth designs a deck that opens up the walls, triples the original deck footprint and adds a floor-to-ceiling fireplace and TV to create the ultimate party space.
A Treehouse Deck for a Dream Retirement
After years of constant relocation, retired military officers Joe and Maddie have decided to turn their Colorado home into a dream retirement. The Mega Crew is challenged to build a two-story $200,000 deck that takes advantage of a pristine two-acre wildlife-filled backyard, and can be used year 'round. Four months later, the new Mega Deck in the treetops has an outdoor kitchen and living room, a new fire pit and retractable glass walls.

A Log Home Gets a Two-Story Cliffside Deck
Mark loves his cliffside log home in the Rocky Mountains, but the small existing deck doesn't take advantage of the million-dollar view. The Mega Crew is challenged to build a $600,000 cliff-side deck that takes advantage of the panoramic mountain scenery and allows Mark to enjoy the frosty winters outside on his deck. After six months of construction, the Mega Deck is finally complete and homeowner Mark gets a tour of all the new features including a top-of-the-line barbecue grill and hot tub.
Three Decks, Three Pergolas, a Swim Spa, and a Water Feature
Twenty years ago, Brad and Ronnie built their dream home in the heart of the Black Forest, on the outskirts of Colorado Springs. They've got gorgeous mountain views and five acres of land, but their patio and decks are faded and cracked. With four separate outdoor spaces in the front of their home, the Mega Crew is challenged to update the entire façade. The plans call for an outdoor living room with fire pit, an outdoor kitchen, three pergolas, two roof top decks, a swim spa and a large water feature.
A Four-Season Party Deck for a Large Family
John and Bonnie have a very large family and a very small deck. And with their six adult children living nearby, they really want a place for the family to gather. So, they've decided to turn their old deck into the ultimate party deck. The Mega Crew is challenged to build a $300,000 deck that takes advantage of the gorgeous views and adds 1700 square feet of outdoor living space. The plans call for a comfortable living room with gas fireplace, a state-of-the-art outdoor kitchen, sliding glass walls, a dining area and a fire pit. The four-season living space will also feature some of the best ideas when it comes to improving outdoor privacy.
An Ideal Family Deck With A Wood-Burning Fireplace
Randy and Kim live in the country with their teenage children. They really want a place for their kids to hang out with their friends, as well as a place to connect and bond as a family. So, they've decided to turn their old patio into a family party deck, and challenge the Mega Crew to build a $200,000 deck with an outdoor living room and wood-burning fireplace, an outdoor kitchen, sliding glass walls, a dining area, a sunken hot tub and an extra large fire pit.
A Fireside Retreat with a Rustic Feel
The Mega Deck team tears down a dilapidated and useless deck to make room for a $200,000 rustic retreat. But, when an engineer nixes the timber-framed roof design, the crew's got to think quickly on their feet. Even with design changes and delayed materials, they're able to create a space with a fireplace, skylights, a fire pit, pergola, and rustic accents in under three months.

A Blockbuster BBQ Deck Overlooking a Golf Course
Ed and Becky have two growing children, and they live next to a golf course. But their old deck just isn't working. It's weathered and crumbling, and can only be used a few months a year. So they challenge the Mega Crew to build a $200,000 deck that will serve as the ultimate spot to barbecue and relax next to the links. The plans call for an outdoor living and dining room with a state-of-the-art outdoor kitchen, sliding glass walls, bench seating and a fire pit. The four-season living space will also feature a hot tub and spiral staircase.

The Ultimate Luxury Deck With A Two-Story Waterfall
Katie and Charlie have just purchased their dream home and now want to make the most of their spectacular views. They've got a big budget and even bigger ideas. They challenge the Mega Crew to build a $600,000 deck that maximizes the gorgeous views, and adds 1000 square feet of outdoor living space. The plans call for a two-story water feature, a custom pizza oven and patio, an outdoor living room, an outdoor kitchen, sliding glass walls, and four large fire features to keep them warm all year long. It's one of the most dramatic decks the team has ever built.
A Fireside Retreat with a Rustic Feel
The Mega Deck team tears down a dilapidated and useless deck to make room for a $200,000 rustic retreat. But, when an engineer nixes the timber-framed roof design, the crew's got to think quickly on their feet. Even with design changes and delayed materials, they're able to create a space with a fireplace, skylights, a fire pit, pergola, and rustic accents in under three months.
A Shady Space with a View
The biggest demo in Mega Decks history gets underway by tearing down 1500 square feet of stucco. Then, steel framing and 500 pound beams go up to support three different roof styles. A pergola, a flat roof with a skylight, and a gable roof with a skylight all protect this family from the sun, the wind, and the unpredictable Colorado weather. Plus, replacing the stucco with wrought iron rails and staircase opens up the views for this family.
A Modern, Zen Oasis with a Rustic Escape
The Mega Deck team has to turn a sunroom, concrete patio, and dirt landing by the pond into one cohesive space. After tearing out the sunroom, they build a steel framed deck with a flat roof that's connected to the existing patio. Then, they create a walkway that leads down to a new, concrete patio by the pond. While everything up by the house has a modern and zen-like feel, the retreat by the pond is much more natural with stone seating and a fire pit.
A Log Cabin Lookout with a Wrap-Around Porch
Garth is challenged to create a modern, spacious deck while maintaining a log cabin feel. His plan includes redoing their entire wrap-around porch with steel framing and maintenance-free decking, adding a rounded section with a fire pit and expanding the main area to become a fully enclosed glass living space. But, the team is thrown for a loop when the homeowners completely change the design plan with three weeks to spare. Add in weather challenges, rotted-out material and last minute crew changes and this Mega Deck just barely finishes in time.
A Mountain Retreat with a Rocky View
The Mega Deck team faces unbelievable hurdles with this project: a nearly impassable access road, crazy mountain weather, and a build site that sits on top of a granite boulder, all at an elevation of 9000 ft in Estes Park, CO. But, the build team can sit back and enjoy someone else doing the heavy lifting when they get a helicopter to fly a 1000 lb. spiral staircase to the deck instead of hauling it up themselves. And, at the end, the gable-covered deck with skylights, a custom kitchen, and recessed glass panels, is exactly what the homeowners needed in order to fully enjoy their mountain retreat all year 'round!
