Dreaming of Your Ideal Backyard Deck in Middle River, MD
A backyard deck could be a way to get from your back door to your backyard, but it can also be so much more. How do you imagine your ideal backyard deck? There is a lot more to deck building than you might realize, with many options to make it as simple or as decked out as you wish. Perhaps you would like a hot tub, a shaded lounge, an outdoor kitchen, or all of the above. It’s how you want to use your deck or could that will influence your deck design.
Popular Deck Materials
Every deck will be set on a wooden supporting structure, but the deck surface, stair treads, and railings can be any of these popular deck materials listed right here.
- Pressure treated pine: Pine is an affordable lumber, but it lasts even longer when it is treated. This treatment still makes it a budget-friendly choice and will last well over a decade with proper care.
- Western red cedar: Cedar is a durable softwood with natural oils that preserve it from rotting. It still benefits from routine wood deck care.
- Tropical hardwood: Tropical hardwood covers Ipe, Mahogany, Tigerwood, and others. Their density makes them resilient against rotting and is a more costly lumber.
- Composite: Composite decking is a low-maintenance material made of recycled wood and plastic fibers. It looks like natural wood, but does not require sanding or sealing.
- Vinyl: Vinyl, which is polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic, is optimized for the outdoors and requires little maintenance. It resists warping, cracking, discoloring, and rotting.
Elements of a Deck Design
Aside from its supporting structure, your deck is made of at least several elements. Consider these components to see how you might technically put your ideal deck design together:
- Placement: Decks can be freestanding or accessible off your back door. A freestanding deck could wrap around an above-ground pool, surround a tree, or settle in the back corner of your yard.
- Dimensions: Decks are usually between 300-400 square feet, but they can be much larger or smaller. They can have standard or custom dimensions with unique angles and curves.
- Elevation: There are low, mid, and high elevation decks, along with multi-tiered decks. The elevation will depend on the back door’s elevation, and the number of tiers will depend on how you want to divide the space and drive traffic flow.
- Stairs: Deck stairs can be straight, L-shaped, cascading, or fan-shaped, to list a few examples. The design will depend on the deck’s elevation and the property’s traffic flow.
- Railings: Deck railings can be made of any of the above-listed materials or aluminum, steel, or glass.
- Additions: The right additions can complete your deck. These features include pergolas, planters, lighting, hot tubs, benches, and other built-ins.
