What Deck Design Works for You?
When you get a new deck, there are a lot of components to consider, from the material to the deck design: contemporary? Colonial? Once you have made those decisions and you're ready for your deck, how will you design it for your needs?
Before you do anything, ask yourself this question: “How will I use my deck?” Once you figure out what you want to use your deck for, you will know what to do with it!
Eating Outside? Do you and your family love to gather around an outdoor table and eat dinner? If so, you’re going to want to tell your builders this so they can make sure your deck will be large enough to accommodate this. Invest in a great outdoor table, and you’ll be eating there in no time!
Hanging Out. Imagine your deck being just like your living room, only outside and away from everything else. You can have it! With the right size and shape deck, you can have plenty of space to relax. Grab your favorite type of reclining patio chair and one of the new weather-resistant LCD TV’s and relax on your deck.
The Party Place. Love to entertain? Want to invite all your friends over? A large deck with built-in benches might be the way to go. If you want to go big, ask your landscaper about including a fire or barbecue pit. You can also add an outdoor bar and an amazing grill to round out the scene.
What will your deck become for you and your family?
