When designing or renovating a garden one of the most common design options looked at is zoning off of certain areas of the garden in the hopes of creating different individual spaces, that can contribute and add to the whole garden aesthetic. No matter what size your garden is, using different zones like this can really add a touch of style to your outdoor space. One example of zoning in gardens is when individuals look to install an outdoor deck. This wooden area not only offers an aesthetic appeal through usage of furniture and other amenities, such as pot plants, but it is also a highly functional zone within the garden. Let’s explore outdoor decking a bit further.
Materials and Maintenance
Often, outdoor decking is made using certain types of woods such as redwood or cedar wood. The reason for using these hardwoods is that they are incredibly durable and are not easily damaged by weather conditions. On top of this, they are also extremely aesthetically appealing and given that outdoor decking is usually looked at in both a functional and aesthetic capacity, these are the perfect timbers to use. In terms of maintaining your decking, you simply need to ensure that it is treated before installation and then every 2 years after that, keep it stained and it will look great and be able to effectively cope with outside conditions.
Entertaining
One benefit which you can enjoy with a renovated garden and a nice decked area is that it is the perfect place to entertain guests during the summer months. Whether you plan to have a BBQ, or you simply want to invite some neighbours over for drinks, having an area outside which is dedicated to this is a refreshing option to have. Also, as mentioned previously, decking can also be “decked out” with a host of other amenities such as couches, umbrellas and other options, such as a ping pong table, to maximise the opportunity for people to relax on your gorgeous decked space.
Enjoying Your Outdoor Space
Something which many people are guilty of is not enjoying the space that they have outside and much of this is down to the fact that there is nowhere to really be able to sit or relax. This is perfect for those late nights when you want to just sit out on the deck and have a drink with a loved one or cuddle up on a couch with your partner and a blanket and look at the stars. However, it should also be mentioned that having a garden that is equalling appealing is recommended to make the most out of the entire space and the experience of owning and using your deck.
Eating al Fresco
There is a real pleasure about sitting outdoors eating a meal in the warm sunshine. Having a deck makes this whole experience more accessible and much more pleasant. Making it perfect for simple meals to big family gatherings.
Outdoor decking looks great, feels great and offers you so many benefits which will ensure that you get the most out of your garden as well as add extra value and quality to your overall property. Make sure when looking to secure your own outdoor deck that you use an effective and reliable timber yard or alternatively contact a professional decking company to make sure that the best possible deck is created.
