There are a number of deck types and styles to consider if you’re planning on adding one to your home. A deck can be a great way to extend your home and create more functional space, but you’ll need to make sure you select the right type for your needs, as well as take into account your budget and how much time you have for maintenance. Let’s take a look at how you can figure out what kind of deck you should build for your home.
Different Decking Materials
When it comes to different decking materials, you have a few things to consider. First, think about how long you want your deck to last, as well as your budget. You’ll also want to consider maintenance. Some materials take a simple wash with water every so often, while others might take a little longer. Your options are as follows:
- Composite
- PVC
- Cedar
- Redwood
- Tropical hardwood
Each have their own pros and cons. Some will withstand the elements better and take less maintenance, while others will add more beauty to your home. It’s important to know what matters most to you.
Different Decking Styles
For styles, think about how you will use your deck. Will you cook? Eat family meals? Entertain? Perhaps you simply want to relax. The style of decking you select will affect this.
Views
A deck can enhance or sometimes hinder your views. Make sure you are sure the shape and style of your deck gives you the views and privacy that you want!
