Why Choose a Vinyl Deck?

With Freedom Fence and Deck, you can choose between different deck materials, such as Ipe, pressure-treated pine, and PVC (vinyl). Why choose vinyl? 

Vinyl is a type of PVC plastic that can withstand outdoor conditions. It will bear the direct sunlight, heat, rain, and cold for decades with little to no wear and tear. Over the years, vinyl fences and decks have become more advanced, being mold-resistant, warp and crack-resistant, and waterproof. These qualities make vinyl a very low-maintenance deck material.

Because it is plastic, it can mold to practically any form. You have flexible deck design options when you use vinyl! Plus, it can come in different colors, so you can choose what suits your home best based on the samples that Freedom Fence and Deck provides.

Although the cost of a vinyl deck is greater than that of a wood deck, its ease of maintenance, durability, and custom appeal make it a great long-term option that will cost significantly less to maintain.

Tips for Maintaining a Vinyl Deck

Just because a vinyl deck is a low-maintenance deck, it doesn’t mean it’s maintenance-free. However, keeping your vinyl deck in great shape will let it function and look great for as long as possible. How can you make the most of your outdoor living space? Follow these easy tips:

• Sweep or blow off debris 
• Promptly clean up spills
• Remove stains
• Clean the deck with a long-handled brush or a pressure washer
• Add the best products for traction or ice melt in winter
• Use a gentle snow shovel
• Protect the deck if you have a grill or fire pit

Deck Design Ideas

If you are happy with the way your deck’s layout is, that is all good and well, and Freedom Fence and Deck can help you maintain, renovate, or replace it as you wish. On the other hand, if you are thinking of some ways to improve the design, or you are installing a completely new deck, then you might consider any of these types of decks:

• Standard deck: A standard backyard deck consists of a single platform with a rectangular or other template shape. This kind of deck is accessible from the back door and sits against the house.
• Multi-level deck: Depending on your deck’s elevation and the backyard’s size, you might have room to create a multi-level deck, each level having a different function.
• Freestanding deck: Some decks float in the middle or corner of the backyard, creating a distinct zone, such as an outdoor dining or living area.
• Custom deck: A custom deck’s layout depends on what is most proportionate to the house and land. If a simple square or rectangle isn’t ideal, a custom deck is best.

Deck Elevations and Stairs

Any of these decks can be at three main elevations: low, mid, and high. Naturally, a multi-level deck can have two or more of these elevations. The deck stair design will depend on the deck’s elevation, its layout, and your property. A few types of deck stair designs include spiral, L-shaped, straight, and cascading.

Deck Additions

As mentioned earlier, there are multiple features you can add to a backyard deck. Here is a list of deck addition ideas to stir your imagination:

• Built-in lighting
• Built-in benches
• Built-in planters
• Built-in storage
• Outdoor fireplace
• Water features
• Outdoor shade structures (gazebo, pergola, pavilion)
• Hot tub
• Screened porch
• Privacy screen

Although they are additions, any of these features could be essential parts of your deck design that make your outdoor living space fully complete. For example, built-in benches could replace deck railings on low-elevation decks. Freedom can work with your vision!
