Backyard Deck Ideas For A Beautiful Design

Welcome to our backyard deck ideas picture gallery. These wood design ideas feature a wide variety of decks of all types, shapes, and sizes. An outdoor deck is a great way to maximize your home’s living space and connect the indoor living area with your backyard. We hope these ideas will help give you plenty of inspiration for creating your own perfect backyard retreat.

The most popular types for the backyard are either composite or real wood. Here are some of the reasons to select composite or wood types for your layout:

Composite Decking – Using a combination of wood and plastic, a composite type requires less maintenance than traditional wood products. In addition, it doesn’t require the staining and sealing associated with real wood to help keep it looking new.

Composite is also splinter-free making it easy on the feet. One of the minor downsides is composite materials usually cost more to buy at the beginning. However, once one factors in maintenance cost over the years it could actually cost less over time.

Wood decking – Natural wood is beautiful and provides an attractive look for creating an impressive backyard deck. The downside is wood can require more maintenance with staining and sealing to keep it looking great. There is a wide range of materials used in wood decks, with availability usually depending on where you are located and what types of wood products are being sold there.

The most popular type of wood is pressure-treated lumber, usually made from yellow pine. However, for luxury options, many homeowners opt for the rich beauty of cedar, mahogany, or redwood. A composite tongue and groove design located in a nook under the house is perfect for those who want a low-maintenance solution.

Once you have found some styles you prefer, there are a number of deck design software programs available to help bring your idea to life.
