What Is a Custom Deck?

Low Maintenance Deck 103

Dream about what your backyard deck could be with Freedom Fence and Deck!

A custom deck has unique measurements, materials, and features that create a one-of-a-kind outdoor living space suited for a specific property. Standard decks have set sizing, dimensions, and materials, but a custom deck uses features that not every deck would have. It’s one you can design from scratch. What are the possibilities with a custom deck, and is it worth it? Learn more below.

Ways to Customize a Deck Design

Size and Shape

As mentioned above, a custom deck can be whatever size and shape you want it to be. You can adjust the measurements to precision, and the shape can have unique angles or curves you wouldn’t find with a standard deck. 

Railings and Stairs

Decks can have many different types of deck railings, including vinyl railings, railings with built-in lights, and ornamental aluminum railings, just to name a few. Stair designs vary greatly, too; the best stair design will depend on what works best for backyard traffic flow. 

Materials

Popular materials for backyard decks are wood, composite, and vinyl, but deck railings can also be glass, aluminum, steel, or a combination of materials. With a custom deck, you can use materials that don’t come with standard designs to increase security, preserve scenic views, etc.

Deck Additions

Backyard decks can be furnished with all the amenities of your choice. Planters, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and hot tubs are just some of the many features you can include on your custom deck.

Reasons to Build a Custom Deck

You Have a Unique Backyard Layout

Is a custom deck worth it? If a standard deck would make moving through your backyard awkward or not fit your outdoor living plan, then it is definitely worth it. A custom deck can be a better investment even if it is more expensive.

You Want Specific Deck Features

A standard deck won’t come with many deck additions. If you want specific features, you will need to customize a standard design at the very least to add them. 

You Want a More Creative Design

Perhaps you are an artist with a creative vision. Freedom Fence and Deck can help you realize your plan in central Maryland!
