An outdoor living space can complete a home. Without a spot to step outside and take in the great outdoors, your home can feel claustrophobic or simply like something is missing. An outdoor space enhances your quality of life at home. However, it must be structurally safe. If you need deck replacements in Towson, Maryland, Freedom Fence and Deck is the contractor for you.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Deck

How do you know it’s time to replace your deck rather than repair or renovate it? Look for these signs:

• Extensive damage: If the deck has damage over a large portion of it, it might be more cost-effective to replace it entirely.
• Rotting supportive posts: If the support structure is rotting or damaged, you will need to replace it.
• Old age: If the deck is on its last legs due to old age, there comes a point when it has run its course, and a new deck just makes sense.

Deck Design Tips 

If you definitely need to replace your deck, you can rely on your deck builder to devise a professional design for you that is up to code. Even so, it can be helpful to know the basic elements of a deck design aside from its structural support.

• Location: Your deck could be off the back door, around an above-ground pool, or freestanding in your yard.
• Elevation: There are low, mid, and high-elevation decks, as well as multi-tiered decks.
• Dimensions: Decks come in standard sizes and dimensions, the average size being between 300 and 400 square feet. Custom dimensions are also possible.
• Stairs: Deck stair designs depend on the deck elevation, dimensions, and property traffic flow.
• Railings: Railing designs can emphasize preserving views, strong security, or both.
• Additions: There are so many possibilities with decks. To complete your outdoor living space, you could include a pergola, outdoor kitchen, planters, benches, lighting, an outdoor fireplace, or patio heaters, just to name a few examples.

Popular Deck Materials

What about deck materials? Here’s a brief rundown of the popular options:

• Pressure-treated pine: An affordable lumber chemically treated to preserve it from rotting.
• Western red cedar: A softwood famous for its reddish color and aromatic preservative oil.
• Ipe: A tropical hardwood dense enough to deter moisture and insects with a deep, rich color.
• Composite: A material made from recycled wood and plastic fibers that is easy to maintain.
• Vinyl: Also known as PVC decking, it is a solid material that is 100% PVC plastic made to withstand the elements.
