Pictures of decks we have built around Palmerston North: low decks off the back of the house, decks with steps down to the lawn, composite decks, and decks under construction so you can see what goes underneath.
See composite decks, pine decks, raised decks and pool decks.
The best deck designs start with how you will use the space and where the sun is. Here are outdoor deck ideas we come back to again and again.
On a small section, a low deck off the living room that steps straight onto the lawn makes the yard feel bigger. Built-in bench seating along one edge saves floor space, and wide steps double as extra seats. See floating and ground-level decks.
A full-width deck that links the kitchen, living room and lawn, with enough room for a table and a barbecue, and a roof or pergola over the dining end.
Instead of one high platform, step the deck down in two or three levels. It is often cheaper, keeps more of it under the consent threshold, and creates separate areas. See raised and multi-level decks.
Stairs that land on a path or the lawn, not a garden bed. Wide feature steps across the front of a low deck are one of the simplest deck steps ideas. See deck stairs.
Glass where there is a view, slim aluminium pickets for a modern deck, and vertical timber balusters to match a timber deck. See balustrades.
Wide composite boards in grey, hidden fixings, a flush edge with fascia boards, black aluminium balustrade and a slatted screen. See composite decking.
Step lights in stair risers, low lights along a screen or seat, and power for a heater. Plan the cabling with your electrician before the boards go down.
