Have A Backyard Makeover
Decks
have become a summer staple for the American back yard. In keeping with
the trend towards outdoor living spaces that mimic the indoors, decks
are dressing up. From decorative railings to drainage systems and a
greater variety of building materials, today’s decks go way beyond
simple wood platforms for a portable grill and some patio furniture.
When planning your deck project, consider incorporating these hot trends in your project:
Double
the space benefits of your deck. Flooring systems and under deck mounted
drain systems that prevent water from pouring through decks are among
the hottest trends right now.
Be
creative with the rails. Railings and balusters around decks perform an
important safety function, especially if your deck will be on the second
story.
Less
maintenance, more fun. Wood is no longer the exclusive material of
choice for deck builders. Alternative materials offer lower maintenance
requirements and longevity than wood, but also will increase the cost of
a deck by $2 - $4 a square foot
Create
excitement with multiple levels, unusual floor plans and luxurious
amenities. Decks are no longer simple square or rectangular platforms
positioned off the back of the house. Modern deck-building techniques
allow for a vast range of shapes and floor plans, from octagon to oval
and even multiple curves.
