Custom decks are a great place to enjoy the outdoors. They can be used for so many things from relaxing to entertaining. If this is an addition you are considering, you will want to get some ideas on the different types, the sizes, multi-level decks and if you want attached planters, built-in seating or landscape lighting. There are so many designs that you need to have a general idea and then you can go from there - adding what you will need for your deck.This is a great addition to the home and it will provide a place for all types of enjoyment. It can be a place to relax and unwind after a long day, the spot for family get-togethers or as extended living space. Many people do not realize how much a deck can add as an extension to the home. Find a contractor that you can trust and get some ideas from them. They can advise you on the location of the deck. More than likely it will be used for setting up furniture so that you can use it for entertaining so you will want to think about how much sun the location you are choosing gets throughout the day.Property lines will need to be considered so that your deck meets any state or city requirements. This can often play a part in the size of the deck. The location of the deck will also affect the privacy and the view. While many people would like to have privacy as well as a view, especially if there is a lake or other scenery that can be enjoyed. This is where a professional can come in handy. They are skilled at incorporating everything you want into the deck as well as the placement allowing the ambiance that you want your deck to provide.Are you thinking about the addition of a hot tub to your deck? This can be a gre at idea for creating an area that can be used both privately and for entertaining. The size will need to be considered as the standard space needed for a hot tub area is approximately 12' x 12' and this is the minimum. You may want to set aside a little more room. The area for the hot tub can be to one side which will allow the rest of the deck to be used for other things. This is one of the features that many are choosing to incorporate into their decks today.Choosing the materials that you will want to use for your custom deck is another thing that should be considered. There are many natural materials that can create a great look. One of the most popular is cedar. This is a rich textured wood and it has natural oils and shades can vary from dark to light. A choice of composite materials is another. It really depends on personal preference and making the deck weather resistant is one of the main concerns.When choosing the style and design of the custom deck that you will enjoy for many years, make a list of the things that you want to incorporate into the design. A good contractor can provide sketches of the types of decks that you are interested in allowing you to choose the one that will best suit your needs.
