Benefits Of A Deck

Aside from creating a space for you and your family to relax or entertain, a deck will increase your Catonsville home’s value and curb appeal. Regardless of the size, your deck space can allow for a larger living space, enjoying the outdoors, or simply spending time with your family.

Entertaining on your new custom deck

Depending on the size of your backyard, there are several deck sizes to consider. Small decks might only fit a dining set and are suitable for smaller yards. Typically they are between 100 to 200 square feet. A moderate deck is generally between 200 to 400 square feet This is the average choice of most homeowners given the space available because there is more room for entertaining and enjoying the outdoor space. If the yard is large enough, there is always the option for a 400+ square foot deck. These are great for large families or for the entertainer of the family.

Whatever size deck, decorating it is what brings it to life! If entertaining isn’t the end goal for the space, there are always other options. Make this space fit your lifestyle: add TVs to watch sports games, lounge chairs to sunbathe, birdfeeders to watch wildlife, or even zen elements to create a spa atmosphere! The possibilities are endless.
