A deck can provide a versatile outdoor living space for your property. Whether you wish to use it for hosting dinner parties or simply want a place to enjoy the sunset, a quality installation will provide countless hours of enjoyment. Of course, there are many designs that cater to different property layouts and usage preferences. Here are some popular choices to consider.

What Are Some Layout Options for Decks?

1. Island

Decks don’t always have to be attached to the house. Also known as freestanding decks, these let you use space anywhere in the yard, so that they extend your landscaping.

You can also optimize their placement so that they can provide the best possible view of your yard. A path or steps from the house to the deck will provide easy access.

2. Wraparound

This style lets you imitate the look of antique southern homes with their wraparound porches. This deck can extend around the entire house, giving you ample outdoor living space. With the installation on all four sides of the house, you’ll have no trouble finding a sunny or shady spot to relax in at any time of day.

3. Platform

This simple style is built low to the ground and is ideally suited for a level lot. While railings are still useful, you could also define the area’s perimeter with features like bench seating or planters. This attached deck is excellent for creating a screened-in porch or adding on a gazebo feature.
