Windeck is also fielding far more requests
from homeowners who want a hot tub to be
a primary focus of their new deck. Some of
the more popular designs include privacy
panels, frosted glass walls and even louvered
windows.
While a deck is a great place to soak up some
sun, you can get too much of a good thing.
Pelland says that's why shaded structures,
including overhead canopies, have become a
more common feature.
His advice to anyone considering building a
deck is to remember that it doesn't have to
be done in one fell swoop. Many homeowners
will have a deck built in phases, in large part
to keep costs under control.
"Scale the project to your needs and have a
growth plan," he says. "We see a lot of that,
especially with composite customers."
Dueck says the sooner you start planning, the
more time you'll have to properly design your
backyard retreat, and to deal with permits and
potential headaches such as conditional use
variances.
"Now is the best time to start thinking about
it and what your needs are."
