There are some homes with porches, and other with decks. Some have decided to opt for both. What's the difference? Isn't one at the home's back and the other at the front? Is it the porch that wraps around the back, or is the deck wrapping around to the front?
With decks, it doesn't matter where they're located, or whether they're called "decks" or "porches." With a deck, you're sure to add beauty, value and class to your home.
A deck can be anything you want it to be. It can be where barbecues are held, or where the kids jump into the pool. Big. Small. Simple. Ornate. The only limit is your imagination. And this versatility is what makes attempting to differentiate between porches and decks a fruitless effort. With no end to the possibilities, there are many things you can do with them.
Gazebos: Adding a gazebo is a great way to add a festive atmosphere to your backyard. Installing a gazebo with your decks is the ideal place to host a parties or to spend a cool spring night.
Tree Houses: Who says decks are limited to houses? Nobody, that's who! Now's the perfect time to add a flight of stairs and some decking to that Southern live oak in your backyard. The versatility of decks means there's no end to the possibilities.
Garden Boxes: Wouldn't it be nice to be able to step right out onto your deck whenever you needed some fresh herbs for that tomato sauce you're stewing up? You can make a garden box or a small tree arbor out of the very decking material you're using to build your deck.
Dining Areas: A deck that extends from the dining room or kitchen is an easy way to add elegance to any dinner party. Imagine treating your guests to a view of the outdoors, instead of the four walls of your dining room. And like the garden boxes we mentioned earlier, you can make tables and chairs to match your decking material.
Decks n' Docks: If you're lucky enough to have waterfront property, you may be able to extend your deck into the water. It'll take some creative building and some elbow grease - building into a muddy bank is rarely anyone's idea of a good time - but you'll never regret it for one second.
