This is a planter box/bench seat in our backyard. I used 1x4 plus pre-grooved Ipe decking for the sides and 1x6 plus Ipe decking for the top cap. The wood has been finished with Advantage Lumber's Ipe Oil for protection as well as to give that rich burst of color that only Ipe can bring.

This summer we aded a privacy fence and deceasing Tigerwood from Advantage Lumber. The deck also uses Advantage Lumber cable railing. The fence is constructed of a custom made powder coated steel frame with insets of Tigerwood and Lexan panels. The fence also features a sliding barn style entry door and a removable section for landscaping equipment. We designed the project in consultation with Lara Kauffman (http://www.houzz.com/pro/laradesignco/lara-design-co).
