How Much Space Do You Have To Work With?
One major factor to consider when designing your deck is how much space you have to work with. You typically want the size of your home and the size of your deck to compliment each other. Outdoor spaces should mirror the size of indoor spaces to help your deck look like it belongs there instead of looking like an afterthought.
What Do You Plan To Use It For?
If you plan on adding many features, furniture, and people to your deck at one time, you may want to consider multiple platforms at varying heights to separate parts of your deck. Or if you just want a nice place to sit and BBQ in the summer, a simple one-level deck is perfect for you.
Features
The number of features you can add to your deck is endless. If you like to cook for your guests, adding an outdoor kitchen is a great feature to allow you to entertain your guests while enjoying the outdoors. If you have a jacuzzi or pool, you can have a barrier built around them to integrate them into the deck. One other feature you can add is built-in benches and tables, so you don’t have to constantly move around furniture.
Where Does The Sun Shine?
One commonly overlooked factor when designing a deck is where the sun mostly shines. When designing a deck, you typically want to have an equal amount of exposed and shady areas on your deck, so you have a nice cool covered place to retreat to. If it is not possible to have some natural shade, you may want to consider having an awning installed along with your deck.
