Signal Hill, Calgary SW

Raised Decks for Signal Hill Walkouts

Signal Hill takes its name from the hillside where First World War battalion numbers are still laid out in whitewashed stones at Battalion Park. The community around it was built mostly in the 1980s and 1990s, and many of its homes back onto a slope with a walkout basement.

On a walkout lot, the main-floor deck can be a full storey off the ground. It needs proper posts, beams and bracing, a railing you can trust, and usually a building permit. Many of the original decks here are now old enough to need replacing, so that is a common call for us.

Local Conditions

What Decks in Signal Hill Need

Height and structure

A second-storey deck carries real loads. We size the posts, beams and piles for the height, the snow and the people on it.

Railing for the view

Glass railing keeps the sightline to the mountains and downtown. We also install aluminum picket railing where you want less glass to clean.

Wind and sun exposure

A west-facing hillside deck gets wind and strong afternoon sun. Capped composite and PVC boards hold their colour far better than stained wood.

Permits

Deck Permits in Signal Hill

Signal Hill is inside Calgary city limits, so deck permits go through the City of Calgary. These are the rules that most often apply. We confirm them for your lot and prepare the application for you.

  • •A building permit is needed for any covered deck, and for an uncovered deck more than 0.6 m (2 ft) above grade at any point.
  • •A development permit may also be needed if the deck is at the front of the home, closer than 1.2 m to a side property line, or closer than 6 m to the rear property line.
