The Ultimate Guide to Decks: Choosing Deck Building Materials and Designs for Your Home or Business

9/8/2023

 
Picture
Are you envisioning a stunning outdoor space for your home or commercial property? One that not only elevates your property's aesthetics but also adds functionality and value?

Welcome to the ultimate guide on decks, where we'll explore the art of selecting the perfect materials and designs to create the deck of your dreams.

At Ogden Deck Depot, we understand that the world of decks can be both exciting and overwhelming. With endless options for materials and deck styles, finding the right fit for your specific needs is crucial.

Whether you're a homeowner seeking to enhance your outdoor living space or a business owner planning an inviting deck for customers, this guide is your roadmap to informed decision-making.

Types of Decks

Wood Decks: Natural Beauty with a Touch of Maintenance

Wood decks have long held a special place in our hearts, and for good reason. They offer a timeless, natural aesthetic that's hard to match.

However, like any other material, wood decks come with their own set of pros and cons.
In this section, we'll take a closer look at what makes wood decks a popular choice and the considerations you should keep in mind if you're leaning toward this classic option.

The Pros of Wood Decks

1. Natural Aesthetic

One of the standout features of wood decks is their ability to seamlessly blend with the natural surroundings of your outdoor space. The warm, earthy tones and genuine wood grain patterns create an inviting atmosphere.

If you're a fan of that classic, rustic look, a wood deck might be the perfect fit for your home or business.

2. Relatively Cost-Effective

Compared to some of the other deck materials on the market, wood decks are often more budget-friendly upfront. This affordability can make it easier for homeowners and businesses to embark on their decking projects without breaking the bank.

The Cons of Wood Decks

1. Regular Maintenance

Wood decks, while charming, demand ongoing maintenance to keep them looking their best. This typically involves staining or sealing the wood to protect it from weathering, moisture, and insect damage. Neglecting this upkeep can lead to premature wear and tear.

2. Susceptible to Weathering

Wood is a natural material, which means it can react to the elements. Over time, exposure to rain, sunlight, and temperature fluctuations can cause wood to warp, crack, or fade. To combat this, regular maintenance and protective treatments are essential.

Choosing the Right Wood

When opting for a wood deck, it's crucial to choose the right type of wood. Some popular choices include:
  • Pressure-Treated Wood: Treated to resist decay and insects, this is a cost-effective option.
  • Cedar: Known for its natural resistance to decay and insects, cedar offers a beautiful reddish hue.
  • Redwood: Naturally resistant to decay and with a rich color, redwood is an elegant choice but can be pricier.
Remember, your choice of wood will impact both the appearance and long-term durability of your deck.

Composite Decks: The Modern Solution for Low Maintenance and Durability

Composite decks have emerged as a modern and highly attractive alternative to traditional wood decks. With their low maintenance requirements and remarkable durability, they've become a preferred choice for homeowners and businesses alike.

The Pros of Composite Decks

1. Low Maintenance

One of the primary advantages of composite decks is their minimal maintenance requirements. Unlike wood decks, composite materials don't need regular staining or sealing. This means you can spend more time enjoying your deck and less time on upkeep.

2. High Durability

Composite decks are engineered to withstand the elements, resisting rot, decay, and insect infestations. They won't warp, crack, or fade with exposure to sun, rain, or extreme temperatures. This durability ensures a long lifespan for your deck.

3. Variety of Styles and Colors

Composite materials offer a wide range of styles and colors to choose from, allowing you to customize your deck to match your aesthetic preferences. Whether you prefer the look of natural wood or want a unique, contemporary design, there's a composite option for you.

4. Eco-Friendly

Many composite decking materials are made from recycled materials, making them an eco-friendly choice. If sustainability is a priority for you, composite decks align with your environmental values.

The Cons of Composite Decks

1. Higher Initial Cost

While the benefits of composite decks are clear, they often come with a higher initial cost compared to traditional wood decks. However, it's essential to consider the long-term savings in maintenance and potential lifespan.

2. Limited Natural Appearance

Although composite decks do an excellent job of mimicking the look of wood, some individuals prefer the authenticity of natural wood. If you're a purist in terms of aesthetics, this could be a drawback.

Composite Decking Brands

When selecting a composite deck, it's important to choose a reputable brand known for quality and performance. Some well-regarded composite decking brands include:

  • Trex: A pioneer in composite decking, Trex offers a wide variety of styles and a reputation for durability.
  • TimberTech: Known for its advanced technology and realistic wood-grain textures, TimberTech is a top choice for composite decks.
  • Deckorators: Deckorators is recognized for its innovative designs and high-quality composite decking options.

Types of Deck Designs

Raised Decks
Raised decks are a fantastic way to enhance your outdoor living experience by creating an elevated space that offers spectacular views, extra usable square footage, and a unique design element.

Whether you're looking to extend your living space, entertain guests, or simply bask in the beauty of your surroundings, a raised deck might be the perfect addition to your home.

The Pros of Raised Decks

1. Additional Usable Space
One of the most significant advantages of raised decks is the creation of additional usable space. By elevating your deck above ground level, you not only gain extra square footage but also open up possibilities for various outdoor activities.

This additional space can be invaluable for hosting gatherings, dining al fresco, or setting up comfortable seating areas.

2. Ideal for Outdoor Entertainment
If you love outdoor entertaining, a raised deck is an ideal platform. It provides an excellent vantage point for hosting barbecues, cocktail parties, or simply enjoying the company of friends and family.

The elevation enhances the overall experience, making it more enjoyable for both hosts and guests.

3. Enhanced Views
For properties with scenic vistas, raised decks offer unparalleled views. Whether you're overlooking a picturesque landscape, a body of water, or the city skyline, an elevated deck allows you to fully appreciate the beauty of your surroundings. It's like having a front-row seat to nature's masterpiece.

4. Aesthetic Appeal
Raised decks lend an attractive and sophisticated look to your property. They add depth and dimension to your outdoor space, making it visually appealing. You can customize the design and materials to match your desired style, from traditional to contemporary.

The Cons of Raised Decks

1. Higher Construction Cost
Building a raised deck typically involves more materials, labor, and structural considerations than ground-level decks. As a result, the initial construction cost tends to be higher

2. Safety Concerns
Due to the elevation, safety is a paramount concern for raised decks. Depending on the height, you may be required to install railings, which can add to the overall expense. Ensuring the deck is properly anchored and meets local building codes is crucial.

Raised Deck Design and Customization

The design possibilities for raised decks are virtually endless. Here are some design elements you can consider:

  • Multiple Levels: Create different tiers on your raised deck to separate various functions, such as a dining area, lounge space, and even a hot tub or fire pit zone.
  • Built-In Seating: Opt for built-in benches or seating areas that maximize space and add a comfortable touch.
  • Privacy Features: Incorporate privacy screens, pergolas, or trellises to enhance the intimacy of your deck space.
  • Materials: Choose from a wide range of decking materials, such as wood, composite, or even stone, to achieve your desired look.

Ground-Level DecksGround-Level Decks: Simple Elegance and Accessibility

Ground-level decks offer a unique and elegant solution for those seeking an outdoor space that's easily accessible, budget-friendly, and seamlessly integrated with the natural surroundings. These decks are versatile and can be tailored to suit various purposes, from leisurely relaxation to outdoor dining.

The Pros of Ground-Level Decks

1. Cost-Effective Construction
One of the most significant advantages of ground-level decks is their cost-effectiveness. Since they are closer to the ground and require fewer materials and labor than raised decks, they are a budget-friendly option for homeowners and businesses alike.

2. Easy Access
Ground-level decks are incredibly accessible, making them an excellent choice for individuals who want to avoid stairs or those with mobility concerns. They seamlessly integrate with your existing landscaping, offering a smooth transition from indoors to outdoors.

3. Enhanced Integration with Landscape
These decks blend effortlessly with the natural features of your property. They provide a cozy and inviting space that feels like an extension of your outdoor environment. This integration allows you to fully enjoy your garden or backyard.

4. Design Flexibility
Ground-level decks offer a wide range of design possibilities. They can be customized to accommodate various features, such as built-in seating, planters, or even a pergola. The flexibility in design allows you to create a space that suits your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.

The Cons of Ground-Level Decks

1. Limited Elevation and Views
Since ground-level decks are, as the name suggests, at ground level, they may not offer the elevated views and vantage points that raised decks provide. If you have a picturesque landscape or want to capture specific views, this could be a limitation.

2. Space Utilization
Ground-level decks often require more yard space than raised decks, which may limit landscaping options or available green space. Careful planning is essential to ensure your deck doesn't overwhelm your outdoor area.

Deck Design and Customization

When designing a ground-level deck, consider the following:
  • Size and Shape: Determine the size and shape of your deck based on your intended use and available space.
  • Materials: Choose suitable decking materials, such as wood, composite, or concrete, to match your aesthetic preferences and budget.
  • Built-In Features: Consider adding built-in seating, planters, or even an outdoor kitchen to enhance functionality and style.
  • Privacy: If privacy is a concern, incorporate screens, fencing, or landscaping elements to create a more intimate setting.

Wraparound Decks: Embrace Shade, Privacy, and Style

Wraparound decks are a remarkable design choice that can elevate your outdoor living space to new heights of comfort, aesthetics, and functionality. These decks encircle your home or commercial property, providing shade, privacy, and a sense of expansiveness. In this section, we'll explore the charm of wraparound decks, detailing their advantages and considerations.

The Pros of Wraparound Decks

1. Enhanced Shade
One of the standout features of wraparound decks is their ability to provide ample shade. They extend around your property, creating shaded areas that shield you from the sun's intensity. This makes them ideal for relaxation and outdoor activities during hot summer days.

2. Privacy
Wraparound decks offer a degree of privacy that other deck styles may lack. The enclosure created by these decks can serve as a natural barrier, making them a perfect choice for homeowners or businesses seeking seclusion from neighboring properties or busy streets.

3. Stylish and Inviting
Wraparound decks exude a unique sense of style and sophistication. They enhance the architectural beauty of your property, adding an attractive focal point that can significantly boost curb appeal. The graceful curves and continuous flow of a wraparound design are undeniably inviting.

4. Multiple Outdoor Zones
The layout of wraparound decks allows for the creation of multiple outdoor zones. You can set up different areas for lounging, dining, gardening, or even installing a spa or hot tub. The versatility of these decks provides options for various activities.

The Cons of Wraparound Decks

1. Higher Construction Cost
Building a wraparound deck typically involves more materials, labor, and planning compared to standard decks. The additional complexity of design and the need for precise measurements can increase construction costs.

2. Maintenance
With their larger surface area, wraparound decks may require more maintenance than smaller decks. This includes regular cleaning, staining or sealing, and potentially more frequent upkeep due to exposure to the elements.

3. Space Considerations
The design of wraparound decks requires adequate yard space. If your property has limited outdoor space, a wraparound deck may not be a practical choice. Proper planning and design considerations are crucial.

Deck Design and Customization

When designing a wraparound deck, consider these key elements:
  • Curved or Angular: Decide whether you prefer a curved or angular design, each offering its own visual appeal.
  • Materials: Choose decking materials that complement your property's aesthetics, whether it's natural wood, composite, or another option.
  • Railings: Explore railing designs that match the style of your deck, ensuring safety and aesthetics are balanced.
  • Outdoor Furniture: Select outdoor furniture and decor that enhances the comfort and charm of your wraparound deck.
