Decks, Railings & Fences
Edmonton summers are short. Your outdoor space should make every single day count — and survive every Alberta winter without warping, rotting, or fading.
A great outdoor space doesn't just add square footage — it adds a lifestyle. Morning coffee with a view. Family dinners outside. The kind of backyard that makes your home the gathering place everyone looks forward to. And in Edmonton, it has to survive -40°C winters and 30+ freeze-thaw cycles without warping, heaving, or rotting. That's why we build with TrueNorth composite decking — a Canadian-made product engineered specifically for our climate.
Topline builds complete outdoor living spaces: custom decks, railings, and fences. Hem Smeding leads our outdoor division with years of expertise in outdoor construction. We handle everything from design to permit to final install — no coordinating multiple contractors, no surprises. Our preferred composite product is TrueNorth, a Canadian-made composite decking line that outperforms imported alternatives in Alberta's extreme freeze-thaw conditions. It's low-maintenance, beautiful, and backed by a strong manufacturer warranty. For railings, we install aluminum, glass, and cable systems. For fences, we build in wood, vinyl, and aluminum to match your home's style and your privacy needs.
What We Build
Our Process
Design Consultation & Site Assessment
Hem meets with you to understand how you want to use your outdoor space, reviews your yard dimensions and grade, and helps you choose materials — including whether TrueNorth composite is the right fit for your project and budget.
Permit Application & Engineering
We handle the permit process so you don't have to. All structural elements are designed and built to City of Edmonton code requirements — decks, railings, and fence lines included.
Foundation & Framing
Proper footings and framing are the foundation of a deck that lasts decades. We build to code and beyond — because a deck that heaves or shifts in year three wasn't built right.
Decking, Railings & Fencing Installation
TrueNorth boards are laid with proper spacing for drainage and expansion. Railings are installed to safety code. Fence posts are set at the correct depth for Alberta frost. Every detail — from fascia boards to post caps — is finished with care.
Final Inspection & Walkthrough
We walk through the finished project with you, confirm all safety and code requirements are met. Your outdoor space is ready to enjoy.
