Designing Your Deck in Essex, MD
Are you building or remodeling a backyard deck in Essex, MD? Check out the elements of a great deck design below.
Materials
A backyard deck will have a wooden supporting structure, but its surface, railings, and stairs can be a variety of materials, such as:
- Pressure-treated pine
- Western red cedar
- Ipe
- Composite
- Vinyl
Deck railings and stairs can also feature aluminum, steel, and glass elements.
Placement
A backyard deck is usually off the back door, but it could also be off any other exterior door or freestanding. A freestanding backyard deck could serve an above-ground pool or stand alone at the back, side, or center of a property.
Elevation and Size
A backyard deck can also have a low, mid, or high elevation; it can also be multi-tiered. A deck is usually between 300 and 400 square feet, but it can be much smaller or larger than that as well. The best dimensions for your deck depend on your property’s shape and size, and how you want to use the deck.
Stairs and Railings
Deck stair and railing designs can vary greatly. Once again, deck stair designs depend on what works best for traffic flow throughout the property and how much space you have. Deck railing designs can emphasize preserving scenic views, providing security, or just providing a decent barrier.
Additions
The above elements of a deck design are just the foundation. Decks can have additions of all kinds that truly complete the outdoor living space. Here is just a sampling of what you could incorporate into your deck:
- Shade structures
- Privacy screens
- Built-in benches
- Planters
- Deck lighting
- Outdoor fireplace
- Outdoor kitchen
- Hidden storage
Maintaining Your Deck in Essex, MD
Once you have a structurally sound deck, it’s best to understand how to take care of it, whether you choose to do it yourself or hire a contractor like Orellana Construction to help. You can keep your backyard deck in Essex, MD, in great condition with these easy tips:
Cleaning
One can clean a deck with a pressure washer, which one can buy or rent, to strip dirt off the deck’s surface. If it removes a wooden deck’s top layer, you must stain it immediately before it rains.
Another method is to scrub the deck with warm, soapy water and a stiff-bristle broom. Remove all items from the deck before cleaning and hose off thoroughly after cleaning.
Staining
If you have a wood deck, you will need to stain it every few years to keep it in the best shape possible over the years. Wood deck stains often contain a sealant, which protects the deck from moisture, insects, and other damage.
Repairing
Backyard decks can suffer damage at any time for any reason. If you need deck repairs in Essex, MD, you could do it yourself or call Orellana Construction!
