What are the elements of a deck?

There are many elements that go into the creation of a beautiful and functional deck. You can find out more about all of them on our site by exploring the links below:

Deck Boards:
Deck boards are the foundation of any deck. They form the walking surface, and their material and design greatly influence the deck’s appearance and durability. They can be installed straight, diagonal, or in a herringbone pattern in pressure treated wood, cedar, or Cellular PVC.

Fascia:
Fascia provides a finished edge to the deck, concealing the deck’s structural framework. It adds a polished look to your deck and help protect the substructure from the elements.

Skirting:
Skirting is installed around the perimeter of the deck to conceal the space beneath it. This not only enhances the deck’s appearance but also prevents critters from nesting underneath and maintains a cleaner look.

Steps:
Steps are crucial for transitioning between different levels of your deck or between your deck and the yard. They should be well-designed, safe, and visually integrated into the overall deck design.

Privacy Screens:
Privacy screens or panels can create a secluded and intimate atmosphere on your deck. They can be made from wood or vinyl and are available in various designs to match your aesthetic preferences.

Access Doors:
Access doors provide easy entry to the space beneath your deck for storage or maintenance. They are practical additions that keep your deck organized and functional.

Planter Boxes:
Planter boxes add a touch of nature to your deck. You can use them to grow flowers, herbs, or even small shrubs, creating a vibrant and inviting atmosphere.

Bench Seating:
Built-in bench seating not only saves space but also adds style and makes any deck more welcoming.

Lighting:
Proper lighting enhances both the safety and look of your deck. Choose from a wide variety of solar or low voltage lights.
