About us

Elevating the art of deck building

Our story

Zoellner Designs LLC was founded in 2019 to display the creativity and craftsmanship of Jim Zoellner.

After working for nearly 30 years as a Design Engineer in the automotive, heavy construction equipment, aerospace, and medical industries, Jim wanted to do more than design products for large corporations. He was a great tool and equipment designer with many accolades, but he wanted to build what he designed. It was time to take his craft to an audience that he could work with on a personal level: the homeowner.

As a byproduct of his background, Jim’s pieces display the precision and level of detail that he is known for. His designs incorporate multiple materials, resulting in an industrial flair with a modern, clean look.

Custom home solutions designed and built for homeowners

Early in his new career, Jim wanted to build an extra-special project that would get him noticed nationally.

Jim entered the 5th deck he built into a contest by Deck Specialist magazine, and the project took home 2nd place in the overall category. Goal achieved!

Elevating the way we build decks

Working on job sites every day didn't just teach us how to build great decks. It taught us how to build smarter. To eliminate the back-breaking, time-consuming task of hauling gear from the street to the backyard, Jim designed a custom tool and material cart for his own crew.

What began as a simple effort to streamline our own job sites quickly turned into a lineup of products designed to benefit the entire deck-building community.
