Rooftop Deck Over a Screen Room in East St. Paul
This East St. Paul backyard on the Red River needed two things: a rooftop deck with a screen room. Windeck built both in one structure. A screen room sits at pool level, and a walkable rooftop deck sits on top of it, with frameless glass all the way around.

The upper deck also works as the screen room’s roof, so it has to keep water out completely. We finished it with a Flexstone waterproof walkable deck membrane. It’s a seamless, slip-resistant surface that protects the space below and holds up to Manitoba’s freeze-thaw cycles. It has a clean stone-like look, it’s low maintenance, and you can walk on it and put furniture on it without worrying about leaks.
A topless glass railing system runs around the rooftop deck. Tempered glass panels sit between slim black aluminum posts with no top cap, so nothing blocks the view of the pool, yard and Red River. The same glass railing continues down the open-riser staircase, which ties both levels together.
The lower level is an outdoor screen room with a bar counter, dining and lounge seating, a ceiling fan and recessed pot lights. Phantom motorized drop-down screens close in all the openings at the push of a button. Lower them to keep out bugs, wind and sun, then raise them to open the screen room back up to the pool. When they’re up, the screens retract fully into the header and are out of sight.
Instead of traditional siding, the whole structure is clad in Wolf Serenity decking, inside and out. On the exterior, the boards run vertically as cladding and fascia in a dark wood-grain finish. Inside, a lighter tone runs horizontally on the walls and on a matching sliding barn door for storage. Because Wolf Serenity is a PVC product, it won’t rot, warp or need staining, so the finish will look the same for years.
The homeowners got a shaded, bug-free screen room at pool level and a private rooftop lounge above it overlooking the Red River, in a single structure with a modern look.
