When working with a custom deck builder, you can create a living space that matches your specific requirements. You even have the option to design a multi-level deck to make the most of your outdoor space. Here are a few reasons this might be the best project for your home.

Why You Should Have a Multi-Level Deck Installed

1. Visual Appeal

This project is ideal for a small backyard because it uses both vertical and horizontal space to create a spacious living area without overwhelming the lawn visually.

With a multi-level installation, a custom deck builder also has more opportunities to add unique design elements to the feature. For example, to make each level stand out, they could lay boards in different directions or incorporate railings and balusters in contrasting shapes.

2. Versatility

A multi-level deck gives you ample space to entertain guests and store outdoor equipment.

Since it has multiple platforms, each level can serve a different purpose. For instance, the deck attached to your kitchen can be a grilling and dining area, while the lower level connected to the backyard can hold a hot tub. You can also enjoy spectacular views of sunrises and sunsets from the upper floor.

3. Cover Options

A multi-level deck may also allow you to enjoy your backyard in more weather conditions. Add a pergola or pavilion to one level to shade part of the deck while keeping the other ones open.

The upper level also covers part of your yard, shielding it from rain, snow, and the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Use the covered portion for storing lawn equipment, or add pavers and furniture to it to create a useable patio.
