Have you been considering the idea of installing a deck but aren't sure what will work best for your property? Consider custom desks by Bayarea Outdoor living designed especially to fit the aesthetics of your home. Of the many trends taking over the home-design industry today, decking seems to be leading the charge. And rightly so! Indeed, installing a deck on your property is one of the best ways to expand your living space while including additional elements of nature and the outdoors. What Is A Custom Deck? Decking is a way to elevate the appearance and value of your land by adding a sleek modern-day effect. Outdoor dine-in area, open-air kitchen, BBQ setup, entertainment lounge, or even a gaming area, there are multiple ways in which a deck can be customized. Nowadays, companies even offer a vast variety of decking materials in numerous shades, textures, and patterns that blend in well with the surroundings and match the aesthetics of your property. Since a custom deck is an expression of your personal style and is tailor-made to your needs, it requires additional precision and expertise. Designing and installing such a deck can only be done with the help of a trained decking constructor. Custom Wooden Deck Building Process Before starting with the construction process, you reach out to a construction company or general group of contractors you've decided to work with. They'll hold a meeting where the design team will sit with you to discuss your vision and create a blueprint accordingly. The team will also discuss different materials they feel would look best on your property. Once the budgetary requirements and general expectations have been ironed out, the process of construction begins. The timeline of this process usually differs depending on where you're located; a suburb or a city. For A Suburb In the suburbs, the decks are usually attached directly to the property. For this purpose, constructors must first excavate a hole where foundation posts can be integrated. Next, concrete is poured onto the posts to cement their foundation further. Once dried, the team will place the deck's framing materials onto the posts, which can either be made of metal or wood. After laying down the foundational elements, a special kind of concrete is poured on top to create round tubular-shaped structures that can later be filled with more concrete to strengthen the foundations. The deck's foundation is then connected to the house using a ledger board; it is secured in place using bolts. Finally, the team begins laying out all the designs and developing add-ons per your request to place on top of the foundation and construct your deck accordingly. For A City While most of the construction process is the same, the first few steps may differ depending on your locality. If the client has requested constructors to build a deck on top of a building, no concrete pouring is required since the foundation of the building is already strong enough to support the deck. Instead, a strong steel structure can be added to hold the deck down and keep it intact over time. With Bay Area Outdoor Living, create a custom deck of your dreams!
