Wooden Decks
A deck should be an expression of the way you live, whether it’s for winding up or winding down. It can be a quiet place for morning coffee or the last few chapters in your favourite book, an outdoor family room for catching up on conversation, a dining spot for two or twenty, or the hot spot for weekend neighbourhood nightlife.
A properly planned deck will be tough enough to stand up to the rigors of children’s play and assaults by the outdoor elements and versatile enough for gathering of almost any size. You can have all the enjoyable outdoor space, and it can be created by Nature’sEdge with your dream in mind.
Planning and designing a deck starts with the same question as planning spaces inside your home: What will you do in your outdoor room? If your needs are simple and the backyard small, you can get by with a modest deck, one that’s 3x3m may do. Lavish entertainment demands more room, and perhaps an outdoor kitchen with built in braai. Stairs leading to other levels will handle a crowd. “Form follows function” may seem a slightly worn-out phase, but it’s still useful in deck design. Think about function first. The fun will follow.
