Dreaming of Your Custom Deck
A backyard deck can be much more than just an outdoor platform off your home. It can be your nature sanctuary, a quiet place to watch wildlife and soak in some vitamin D. If you love to entertain, it could be where you host countless outdoor gatherings around a campfire or grill up scrumptious meals. No matter what season it is, a backyard deck can help you live out the life you dream of.
When Is a Custom Deck the Best Choice?
Some properties will work well with a standard deck, but a custom deck could be a better choice for others. A custom deck is best if a standard deck design fails to create the most efficient traffic flow and room for your outdoor living needs. A standard deck might cost less, but the deck’s dysfunctionality will cost you more.
A custom design could also include specific features like privacy screens, shade structures, and more to make your outdoor living space even more comfortable and practical for you.
Designing Your Custom Deck
If you aren’t quite certain about your custom deck design, or you are just interested in learning about the possibilities, we’ve put together a brief guide on how you can design your deck.
Placement
A backyard deck can be attached to your home off the back door or freestanding in your yard. It could be a deck for an above-ground pool, a platform around a tree or two, or a simple deck at the back of your property. Of course, it could also be off your back door or another exterior entrance.
Dimensions and Elevation
Decks can come in standard and custom sizes. In general, backyard decks are between 300-400 square feet, smaller decks being about 100 square feet and larger decks exceeding 400 square feet. Again, the exact measurements of your deck should be as efficient and functional as possible.
As for the deck elevation, standard elevations are low, mid, and high. You can also have multi-tiered decks, which can vary between one step difference between two levels and multiple levels differing by multiple steps.
Stairs and Railings
Deck stair designs will depend on the deck’s elevation and what creates the most sensical traffic flow. Railings can differ in material and design. You could have a nice wooden deck railing, emphasize security with an aluminum railing, or preserve scenic views with glass panels.
Additional Features
There are so many different ways to customize a deck through additions that can make it even more comfortable for spending time outdoors on your own property. Here are just some examples of what you could add to your deck:
- Shade features (pergola, gazebo, pavilion)
- Privacy screens/lattices
- Heating feature (patio heater, outdoor fireplace, fire pit)
- Built-in benches
- Built-in planters
- Built-in storage
- Outdoor kitchen
- Hot tub
- And more
