Imagine The Deck Of Your Dreams

By Jack McGhee


Is your desk now in the the play room? Have you been relocated to your basement or family room? Running out of space to store your stuff? Summer is around the corner again and it's a great time to look at how a deck can help extend your outdoor living space. Also, if you're looking for better ways to utilize the space you already have, then take a look out your back window to where your new deck could be.

Moving things outside is a great way to get more space out of your house and is a trendy thing to do. Many people in the country have room in their backyards under an existing or potential structure that could be used. With new metal decking systems there are no spaces between sections. This water-proof seal prevents the weather from hitting the area below. That means that space remains dry and sheltered from the elements.

Whether you need extra space to store your things or room to have your friends over, the area below your structure is turned into a nice area for you to store your things. That's not the only reasons to choose aluminum decks over other choices. "Metal is great for decking," explains Dave Martel with Peterman Decking. It can stand up to inclement weather and shows no effects. It doesn't decay or show any signs of wear and tear."

There are also many styles to choose from. You can go contemporary or traditional. Choose from cable, glass, picket and many decorative styles. They are shipped in prepackaged sections for easy installation. In addition, the decking is maintenance free, so you'll never have to replace a rotted, cracked or warped board again. You also won't have to spend a perfect summer day water-proofing, staining or painting the deck. All it takes the occasional cleaning to keep the deck looking great. "The aluminum decking stays smooth to the touch," explains Tim Murnow, a Deck Builder in Whippany NJ. "It has a textured, non-skid powder coat finish, and is available in four beautiful colors, so there's sure to be an option that complements the color scheme of your house."

Things on your deck are done and it's time to put on the finishing touches. Don't worry, you can put nearly anything you can think of because this surface is impervious to the elements! Since it won't ever rust or rot you can put any piece of furniture, ornaments from water fixtures to full service kitchenettes and typical choices and really augment your already beautiful deck. Now you're ready to entertain!
