Designing the Dream Deck You’ve Always Wanted
The color palette of your deck plays a pivotal role in creating the desired ambiance. Harmonize your deck with your home’s exterior and express your personal style through the selection of complementary colors that bring your vision to life.
Lighting is paramount and not to be overlooked because it serves both practical and stylistic purposes. Proper deck lighting will allow you to safely navigate the structure after dark and add ambience. From a stylistic standpoint, post lights, stair riser lights, and uplights provide an array of lighting options to suit your preferences.
We understand that maintenance is a crucial consideration for the longevity of your deck. That’s why we recommend materials, such as composite decking, that require minimal upkeep, allowing you to spend more time enjoying your deck and less time maintaining it.
At Barrett Outdoors, we believe in making your dream deck a reality without compromising on quality. Our expert team will work closely with you to ensure your project aligns with your budget, guaranteeing an exquisite outdoor paradise that exceeds your expectations.
Crafting a custom luxury deck that surpasses your wildest dreams begins with thoughtful consideration. Visualize how you want to utilize your deck. Do you want to entertain guests, unwind in peaceful seclusion, or host exquisite dining experiences? This will allow us to tailor the design to your unique desires and specific needs.
Contemplating the layout of your deck is important. Determine whether you desire a single-level structure, a multi-level masterpiece that adds depth and dimension to your outdoor space, or a rooftop deck that gives you spectacular views of your surroundings.
Carefully selecting the type of deck railings will not only enhance safety but also contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal.
Selecting Your Decking Material
When it comes to creating and designing your perfect deck, take time to understand the different kinds of decking materials and which one is right for your home. In recent years, there has been a shift in homeowners preferring composite decking materials because of their long-term benefits.
Traditional Wood Decks
For those who appreciate the timeless beauty of natural wood, traditional wood decks offer the choice of hardwood or exotic woods. This allows you to select a wood based on its natural color, texture, cost, and availability. With wood decks, you also have the flexibility to stain or paint the boards in your preferred colors. To protect them from the elements, it is recommended to use a strong sealant against rain, wind, and sun.
Wood decking has its advantages, including its natural and warm appearance, potentially lower initial cost, and environmental friendliness if sustainably sourced. However, it does require regular maintenance and is susceptible to issues such as rot, decay, insect damage, fading, warping, and splintering over time.
Popular Composite Decks
Composite decks have become increasingly popular for their eco-friendly qualities. Made from a combination of wood fiber or minerals and recycled plastic, composite materials offer a sustainable decking option. They also allow for the creation of unique deck patterns, such as herringbone or chevron, which can enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space.
The benefits of composite decking include lower maintenance requirements and overall investment compared to wood. Composite materials are resistant to rotting, fading, staining, and splintering, often accompanied by longer warranties and greater longevity. Although the initial investment for composite decks might be higher at first, their minimal maintenance and repair needs result in long-term cost savings, making them a more cost-effective option over time.
Maintenance Requirements
When it comes to maintenance, natural wood decks require periodic cleaning, staining, sealing, and potential repairs due to weathering and insect damage. Composite materials demand minimal upkeep, typically only needing occasional cleaning with soap and water to maintain their appearance.
Whether you prefer the classic elegance of natural wood or the low-maintenance benefits of composite materials, we can help you create a stunning outdoor space that suits your style and needs.
