Decking has a few core design concepts:

• Creating space: A good big deck can give you a LOT of living space. It’s like a house extension or big patio. Decking can be enclosed, covered, or simply screened to taste for privacy. Some decks are so big they’re like an extra living room.
• Organising your outdoor space: As well as creating the space, your deck can deliver a truly great outdoor area for entertaining, de-cluttering, and more. Think about your perfect outdoor space; that’s exactly what the right deck can do for your home.
• Decking with space underneath: The great added extra with second floor decking is adding covered space below your deck. This type of decking is very popular, creating a lot of added cubic space below the deck. Many people use the covered space underneath for anything and everything. It’s great use of outdoor space which otherwise wouldn’t exist, in so many ways.
• Adding value and getting value for money: There’s no doubt at all about the strong positives for this issue. Decking is a major asset for any home, simply because it creates much more space. If you’re looking at a home upgrade, decking can add value, and stay within you budget. Decking can be made to order to any configuration, at a good, affordable price.

Not too hard to see why decking is so popular in Australia, is it? Homeowners don’t need too much encouragement to add a deck these days, particularly with a hyperactive housing market.
