Adele's Frozen Custard

Welcome to our gorgeous new deck at Adele’s Frozen Custard in Excelsior, MN! As a community cornerstone, Adele’s gets a steady stream of customers throughout the warm months, and their crumbling wood deck simply wasn’t cutting it anymore. We’ve crafted a stunning outdoor space that mirror’s the previous deck design using TimberTech Advanced PVC Harvest Collection in Slate Grey. Combining beauty and durability, this deck promises to last a lifetime – just like Adele’s! Meticulously designed, every detail ensures an unforgettable outdoor haven. We created built-in benches and planters using the same durable and low-maintenance TimberTech Advanced PVC, which is perfect for Adele’s high traffic and makes the inevitable ice cream spills easy to clean. As a fun final touch, we added some custom railing caps with “Adele’s” printed on them – check them out in the photos below. We encourage you to stop by Adele’s during the spring, summer, or fall to admire our beautiful work, and enjoy a frozen custard while you’re at it!

Budget

Complete Face Lift

Adele's is a seasonal establishment with the vast majority of its seating being outdoors. By updating their deck space, we were able to maximize on seating and accessibility and breathe new life into this esteemed establishment. Even though it's the same building, same deck layout, and same incredible frozen custard - the new deck makes everything look brand new! 

Custom Touches

At Lakeside Decking, we pride ourselves on being innovative and using creative problem-solving when possible. One way we do this is by employing custom 3D printed designs, which we implemented for Adele's with custom railing caps!

Drink Rail

Adding a drink rail to the deck at Adele's helped to add an additional function to the railing. Using the same color of Advanced PVC as the rest of the deck, the drink rail provides a place for visitors to place their drinks - or more likely their ice cream - as they enjoy their time at their favorite local establishment. And since it's the durable and low-maintenance Advanced PVC, it's incredibly easy to clean up after a long, hot summer day. It's the convenience for us! 

Integrated Lighting

Although the sun sets late in the Minnesota summer, Adele's stays open even later! We added beautiful integrated lighting into the railing posts for added visibility at night, and of course a bit of ambience! 

Integrated Benches

Using more coordinating TimberTech Advanced PVC, we built integrated benches for guests to sit on. The benches take up minimal space while providing lots of extra seating for guests. And again, the low-maintenance material is very easy to keep clean! 

Integrated Flower Beds

Similar to the benches, we used the same TimberTech Advanced PVC to construct flower beds that are part of the deck. This beautiful feature adds so much to the space, and the frame also offers an extra spot to place an ice cream treat or two!
