What Is a Custom Deck, and Why Should You Build One?

You know that Freedom Fence and Deck is a fantastic company, but is a custom deck right for you? What is a custom deck, anyway? A custom deck is one designed from scratch, unique from any backyard deck model. Its specifications are specific to the particular client’s property and style requirements. 

When done right, a custom deck can have a great return on investment. The more functional and stunning the deck is, the higher the value of your home will be. A custom deck could be more worth it for your home than a standard deck, given the property’s dimensions, traffic flow needs, and your outdoor living requests.

Designing Your Custom Deck

Do you have a vision for your custom decks in Baltimore County? Even if you do, it can help to review the many deck design options available. If you need some inspiration, consider the elements of a deck design here.

Deck Materials

Popular deck materials include:

• Pressure-treated pine: This option is the most affordable. It will last for at least 15 years with good maintenance.
• Red western cedar: Red western cedar has natural preservative resins and may last a little longer than pine.
• Ipe: Ipe is an exotic hardwood that is highly dense and durable. It has a beautiful color and will last a long time.
• Composite: Composite decking, a combination of recycled plastic and wood fibers, is a low maintenance deck material that will last for decades.
• Vinyl: Vinyl is also a low-maintenance deck material that resists warping, discoloring, cracking, and rot. 

Deck Railings

Deck railings can match the decking in material, but they can also be more flexible. Deck railings can be one or two materials. For example, you could have vinyl deck railing posts with aluminum rails. Glass panels are also popular for maintaining great views from the deck.

Deck Stairs

Deck stairs can have different materials and configurations. These configurations include:

• Straight
• L-shaped
• Spiral
• Cascading/Wrap-around

For an elevated look and functionality, you can include recessed deck stair lights.

Deck Layouts

Deck layouts are where the customization is really evident. The shape, size, and elevation of the deck can be customized down to the millimeter. Decks can have a high, mid, or low elevation and can have one or more levels of different shapes. 

Deck Patterns and Colors

The deck platforms and railings can also feature unique patterns, such as herringbone or basketweave, and different colors. Deck colors tend to be neutral to help blend in with the environment and create a calm effect.

Deck Additions

Now the foundations are all set. What about deck additions? Here, you can go as simple or as elaborate as reason dictates. You can add a hot tub, a built-in sitting area, a fire pit, or a shade structure like a gazebo or pergola. If you need privacy, you can add deck privacy screens. If you love plants, you could build your deck around your favorite tree or include built-in planters. The options are endless!
