Create The Deck Of Your Dreams This Summer

By Dennis Gunther


Has your office space been moved to another room? Maybe you're been downgraded to the kids room? Where are you going to put all your things? A great deck can help make use of that space you're not currently using and make the most of your existing space.

Moving things outside is a great way to get more space out of your house and is a trendy thing to do. Many people in the country have room in their backyards under an existing or potential structure that could be used. With new metal decking systems there are no spaces between sections. This water-proof seal prevents the weather from hitting the area below. That means that space remains dry and sheltered from the elements.

If you need extra space for storage, or an extra entertaining area, the lower level is instantly transformed into a usable space keeping you and your stuff dry. And keeping the area dry isn't the only benefit of aluminum decking offers over wood and composites. "Aluminum is the perfect material for decking," explains Humbolt. "It is able to with- stand the most extreme elements. It does not rust, rot, warp, or splinter. It will not freeze or crack."

Go with a reputable company so you have countless variations to pick from. You can choose older looks or newer modern looks. You can also mix and match what you want. They come in arranged sections for quick connections. Also, they are care-free out of the package so you won't have to change anything, ever. "Once in a while you wash things off to keep the boards spotless," explains Clive McGhee, a Bernardsville Deck Builder. "No paintbrushes or stains to deal with." It only takes a little washing now and then to keep things looking pristine. The metal deck surface stay blemish and snag-free. No barefoot woes! And, they come in a range of great colors so there is an abundance of choices. You are sure to find something that suits your needs.

Once your deck is finished, there's no end to the ways you can decorate it. Add potted or hanging plants - the water runoff won't harm your aluminum deck like it would wood. Add a table with an umbrella and comfortable chairs, and you're set to enjoy the nice weather. The deck is also the perfect place for your grill, as most decks are built off the kitchen. Add some benches for extra seating, and you're ready to entertain.
