The basic plan for a deck is the place that you want to build it. If you can plan that effectively then you have almost won the battle.
A deck can have more and more provisions in it, based on the space availability. It can have two or three chairs to relax, some flower plants and lighting arrangements. Even though hard wood flooring cost us more, it can give us the royal look to the deck that we want.
Planning both the area and location to help us judge the cost and the accessories we can add to the deck to make it look more attractive is important. This makes our work partially done, then deciding the type of deck we want to have is next. For this we don't need to stress as it is available in the market with different shapes and designs.
Coming to the design we have to select it based on the environment where our house is located. Say for example if we are located near a river or mountain we can have a deck facing them with all the side walls opened to let fresh air into the deck.
If we are located in the center of the city with none of the above located near us, we can have it facing the garden and a few steps can connect the garden and the deck. Even if we are residing in the first floor or above, we can have a small deck to have some evening tea or a moon light dinner.
A deck can be made using metal railings, stone or wood. Then the selection should be made after considering the cost, material availability, appearance and maintenance. A metal deck is easy to be maintained but they don't give a special look to the deck.
Coming to the woody deck, they need frequent maintenance as they are easily affected by external humidity and moisture. They also need extra care to protect them from rodents and bugs. Metal decks are not preferable in the sea shore areas as salty air gradually erodes them.
Last but not least coming to the decoration of the deck many accessories are available to help us to do it as easy and simple as we can. Simple decorative lights can convert your simple deck to a royal and rich look. Also we can have some hanging lights, colored lights and crystal luminaries.
