ELEGANT
Curved Decks
You step out onto your deck. The design catches your eye with its graceful, flowing lines that integrate with the natural beauty of your surroundings.
Curved decks transform outdoor spaces like yours into inviting retreats. The continuous curves enhance the flow and functionality of your layout, but more importantly, they reflect your unique style and taste.
Not every deck builder offers curved decks because of the skill and expertise required. At Barrett Outdoors, these beautiful decks are one of our specialties.
Why Homeowners Love Curved Decks
There’s a lot to love about a curved design. Here are some of the top reasons why homeowners like yourself choose to go with a curved structure instead of a classic deck design:
- Unique Visual Appeal: Curved decks have a distinctive, modern look that stands out. The smooth, flowing lines create a stunning focal point, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication that the straight-line designs of rectangular decks can't match.
- At One with Nature: The shapes of the curves blend beautifully with the surrounding environment. This design approach complements the existing landscape perfectly.
- Enhanced Movement: These decks can guide guests naturally around the space, providing a better flow of movement. This makes the deck more functional, especially in areas with limited or irregular space.
- Versatility in Design: Curved deck designs are incredibly versatile. They can be personalized to fit your stylistic preferences and functional needs. Whether you want cozy, intimate nooks or expansive entertaining areas, the flexibility of curved designs offers many possibilities.
- Increased Property Value: A well-designed deck can boost your property's value. Its unique appearance and enhanced functionality make it attractive to potential buyers should you ever decide to sell.
Materials of Curved Deck
Materials and Options for Your Curved Deck
The materials you choose make a big difference when building your curved deck. You want something that looks great, lasts a long time, and fits your lifestyle. Let’s explore your options.
- Hard Wood Decking: Cedar, redwood, and ipe are popular hard wood options. However, wood does require maintenance—regular staining and sealing to keep it looking its best, perhaps repainting.
- Composite Decking: Composite decking materials are the way to go for those who want low maintenance. Made from a mix of wood fibers and plastic, composite boards are incredibly durable. They resist fading, staining, and scratching and don’t need to be stained or sealed. You can choose from a wide range of colors and textures, so you can still achieve that beautiful look without the upkeep.
- PVC Decking: Another great low-maintenance option is PVC decking. This entirely synthetic material is also resistant to moisture and mold. Like composite, PVC decking requires little maintenance, making it perfect for busy homeowners.
- Additional Options: To make your curved deck truly your own, consider adding some extra features. Built-in lighting can create a cozy atmosphere for evening gatherings, and stylish railings are both safe and charming. Consider built-in seating for a space-saving solution, or integrate planters and other decorative elements to enhance the natural beauty of your deck.
Curved Decks Require Proper Planning and Design
Designing a curved deck is an exciting process with a few key steps to keep in mind:
- Planning and Layout: Think about the shape and size of the curves you want based on your available space and how you plan to use the deck. Decide if you want the whole deck to have curves or just certain sections or borders. Do you want a multi-level deck?
- Detailed Deck Plan: We will work with you to create detailed curved deck plans with precise measurements. This includes figuring out the curve radius, arc length, and angles to make sure everything fits perfectly.
- Additional Features: To enhance the design and function, consider adding extra design elements like curved railings, built-in seating, planters, or curved stairs.
The Challenge of Building Curved Decks
Curved decks are stylish testaments to advanced craftsmanship. However, they require a higher skill level and expertise than traditional decks, making them challenging for many companies. That is why we consider them a rewarding experience.
- Precision and Specialized Tools: Designing and creating a curved deck project demands precise planning and execution. Each curve shape must be meticulously measured and crafted, requiring advanced carpentry skills and specialized equipment for bending deck boards and engineering support structures.
- Design Complexity: Designing a curved deck is an art. It involves integrating curves with the landscape and existing structures while considering the placement of support beams and features like railings and lighting.

Our experienced team uses the latest tools and technologies to ensure every curve is perfect, delivering high-quality projects that exceed expectations.
