Attached & Freestanding Backyard Deck Ideas

If you don’t want to spend your summer evening somewhere else than your house, there can’t be a better place than the backyard of your house where you can have a manicured lawn, lined trees and a peaceful and calm garden and the best way to enjoy beautiful evenings is to use deck. If you already have a deck, great but if you don’t, this can really be a great addition in your house when you are thinking to make improvements in your house. Decks enable the homeowners as well as guests to enjoy relaxing and soothing garden environment whenever they want.

Two Popular Decking Options

When it is about building backyard deck, there can be lots of options, but the most important of all is to decide either you want to attach a deck directly to the house or you want to install it at some other area of the house as freestanding deck.

Option # 1: Attached Deck

Both the options are great and have their own benefits, but the most important benefit of opting an attached deck is that it provides already built structural support and you don’t have to establish separate supportive pillars or something else. It does not require lots of planning as everything goes with the house structure making sure that the budget can be limited as much as possible. This is the most preferred option for those who want to have a deck but don’t have lots of free space in backyard or don’t have enough money to have a freestanding type deck.

Option # 2: Freestanding Deck

The second best option is to build freestanding deck which surely requires more planning, more place and more budget as everything will have to be built rather than the use of already-built structure. These types of decks are made much thicker than the other type as this one has to stay on its own without external support and it means it requires extra digging and extra concrete. However, the best thing about this type is that it can be installed anywhere in the property and therefore, lots of people find real attraction in this option.

Final Words

Both of the backyard deck ideas are great, but it depends upon you that what kind of deck you are thinking to have within your property as you need to keep in mind the available space and, of course, the budget you have reserved for this purpose.
