You can still enjoy more of the outdoors despite having limited space. As long as you have space, you can transform it into a functional and relaxing area. At Erin Isle Construction, we specialize in providing replacement decking and railing that will help you make the most of your outdoor space.
Today, we share small deck design tips that will let you enjoy your small outdoor space more.
Identify Your Needs
Your lifestyle plays a key role in how you design your deck. Before contacting a deck builder, try to think of how you’re currently using your outdoor space and how you want to use it. Do you often use it to host family gatherings? Does the idea of turning it into a recreation area appeal to you?
By considering these factors, you’ll be able to figure out the purpose of your deck building project and you’ll be able to design it accordingly. Rest assured that we’ll help you narrow down your options for an optimized outdoor space. We’ll also make sure to provide you with deck designs that will meet your needs.
Make Your Deck an Extension of Your Home
Ensuring that the style, materials, and shape of your decking complements your home and surrounding landscape is ideal. Doing so lets you create a natural flow between your home’s interior to the outdoors. A perfect example would be making your deck an extension of your kitchen area. This will let you prepare and bring meals to your deck area conveniently. You can count on us to build a deck that will blur the line between the inside and outside of your home.
Consider Using Levels
You don’t have to limit your deck design ideas just because you have an imperfect yard. In fact, you can use the uneven surface of the outdoors to create a distinct deck. For instance, you can build a step-down deck to take advantage of a sloped yard. This will allow you to hold parties on different levels of your deck. This can serve as a protective layer, keeping the uneven surface from further eroding due to inclement weather. Rest assured that we can build decks despite any challenges your outdoor landscape poses.
Expect Erin Isle Construction to build you high-quality decking and railing that will make the most of your limited outdoor space. We can build durable wood decks that offer a traditional and warm look that will perfectly blend with a rugged landscape. We can also build composite deckings that offer the natural look of wood without its upkeep. They are impervious to fire, water, and insect damage, making them a long lasting option. We serve Portland, OR, and other areas in Oregon. Call us today at (503) 691-9096 for a FREE estimate.
