10 Great Reasons to Have a Deck Built

Adding a new deck increases the entertaining potential of your home, raising both its market value and your satisfaction living in it. Perhaps you already have an existing deck that needs repair or an extension. Maybe you have been considering adding a deck since the day you moved in. Regardless of what your current situation may be, check out these 10 great reasons to have a deck built.

Enhance your outdoor living area

Have you ever planned an outdoor firepit gathering or backyard BBQ and realized there was not enough dry space for your guests to enjoy? Having all of your family and friends constantly trample on your grass or gravel will inevitably wear a destructive path over time leading to mud and chaos. Enhance your exterior space by having a custom deck that can supply adequate seating.

Private shady escape

Each year it seems the sun is burning hotter and the UV rays are getting stronger. Protect yourself and your loved ones by having exceptional shade options with customized pergolas, gazebos, overhead panels and a variety of arbors. For example, use grapes, hops, clematis and other hanging vines to create an organic and cool escape.

Outdoor kitchens keep inside temps cooler

How many times have you wanted to cook that roast, ham or turkey but dreaded having your oven on for hours during the heat? You won’t have to forego big family suppers during the warmer months if you incorporate an outdoor kitchen into your design scheme. Consider having a sink plumbed in, extra counter space, a grill with a rotisserie and even a stone oven for homemade pizzas and bread.

Sleeping under the stars

When is the last time you had a set up for summer holidays and sleeping outdoors? It is much easier to arrange a camp-out when you are raised off of the ground and can have some insulation between you and the turf. Check out your favorite constellation websites or hit the library to stock up prior to your big night.

Enhance your curb appeal

Having a deck on the front of your home, off of the master bedroom, as a perimeter porch or a backyard extension can dramatically change the entire look of your home. Enjoy the extra shade and seating capacity you will instantly gain while increasing the property value of your home.

Create your spa oasis

Many people initially install a deck for the purpose of housing their pool or hot tub. Incorporating a hydrotherapy spa location into your yard can do wonders for soaking out the stress that tries to establish itself in your neck, shoulders and lower back. Regardless if you have a physical or sedentary lifestyle, water can be a soothing addition to your health regimen.

Patio garden

Many yards have rocky soil and are not conducive to a traditional garden due to their slope or poor drainage. Container gardening on a patio can be done by anyone and is an ideal way to have a fresh supply of organic fruits and veggies. Attract more pollinators to your yard by having some excellent container flower gardens as well.

Outdoor entertaining

Sometimes it is nice to have a get-together without having people tracking dirt through your home. Birthday parties, garden parties and BBQs can be hosted on your new deck and save you from hours of housecleaning afterward.

Exterior office

More people have the option to work from home now than ever before. If you are lucky enough to use your laptop as your portable office, consider working from outside. Enjoy more fresh air and vitamin D while you are working.

Extra storage under deck

Strategically placing some lattice or similar material under your deck with a gate can instantly provide you with a dry place to store all of your lawn and garden equipment as well as your bicycles, scooters and outside kid toys. Free up your garage and shed by moving things accordingly.
