Investing in custom decks is a practical way to enhance your home’s functionality and curb appeal. You can create a soothing outdoor oasis that provides a space for deep contemplation and laid-back conversations. Make sure to consider the following essentials when planning for your deck:
- Function: The design of your deck greatly depends on what function it will serve. Do you plan to use your deck primarily for entertaining, or do you envision it as more of a private haven? Ask your family members what they want so you can design your deck in a way that matches your desired function.
- Traffic Flow: Your deck should allow enough space for activities and traffic pathways. Creating a layout will help you choose the right furnishings to prevent overcrowding. For instance, if you want to build a large deck, you can divide the space into portions for dining, cooking, and lounging. As your reliable deck installer, we will provide the best layout for your specific needs and preferences.
- Materials: When choosing materials, consider both aesthetics and your tolerance for upkeep. Wood surfaces usually require significant maintenance. PVC, on the other hand, is virtually maintenance-free. At The Deck Store, we offer high-performance AZEK® decking products that withstand the test of time. We can help you choose the right style for your preferences.
- View: Check the view from the deck and from inside your house. You don’t want your new deck to block your view of the outdoors. Consider incorporating descending sections on your deck to lower the railings. You can also choose railings with thin balusters or glass panels.
