Popular Deck Materials
The deck materials listed below range from least to most expensive. The less expensive types, such as wood, need routine sealing to keep them from rotting, but the more expensive options do not need sanding or sealing.
- Pressure-treated pine: A cheap lumber infused with a preservative chemical that makes it last much longer than untreated wood.
- Western red cedar: A softwood famous for the aromatic natural oil that preserves it against insects and moisture damage.
- Tropical hardwood: A category of lumber known for its density and beautiful dark color.
- Composite: A combination of recycled wood and plastic fibers that creates a low-maintenance deck material.
- PVC: An outdoor-grade polyvinyl chloride plastic that is also easy to maintain.
Elements of a Deck Design
If you are designing or renovating a backyard deck, here are some criteria to think about when planning it. Of course, an expert deck designer will be able to pull all of your preferred criteria together while keeping it structurally sound.
- Location: A deck could be off the back door like most decks, but it could also be off a front or side door, around a tree, freestanding in a spacious yard, at the end of a garden, or bordering an above-ground swimming pool.
- Elevation: Decks can have a high, mid, or low elevation. They can also be multi-tiered, having two or more platforms differing by as little as a single step or a flight of stairs.
- Dimensions: A deck is usually between 300 and 400 square feet, but it could be much smaller or larger. A deck can have a standard shape and size, but custom dimensions are also possible.
- Stairs: Deck stairs come in different styles, like cascading, spiral, and L-shaped. The best kind depends on your deck’s elevation and the property’s traffic flow.
- Railings: Deck railings can be the same material as the rest of the deck or a combination of materials. They can add privacy, enhance security, or preserve scenic views.
- Additions: There are plenty of additional features that backyard decks can have built into the design, which we will list right below.
Deck Additions
- Shade (pergola, awning, gazebo, pavilion, screened porch)
- Built-in benches
- Deck lighting
- Outdoor fireplace
- Built-in planters
- Outdoor kitchen
- Hot tub, cold plunge pool, etc.
- Built-in storage
- And much more
