Decking not only gives you extra outdoor living and entertaining space, it also adds an upscale look and increased design appeal to your property.
Adding a decking feature to your property gives family and friends a social place to gather, eat and hang out on a beautiful day. It can set the stage for parties and picnics. It’s also a great place for parents to relax at the end of the day or teenagers to hang out with their friends. It will certainly be one of the most popular places of the home.
Decking brings the outdoors inside. If you are lucky enough to walk out the patio doors and onto the decking, it is like a natural home extension. Decking is a lovely addition to a garden while giving you a front row seat for enjoying a barbecue. Decking can also serve as a stunning showcase for plants, flowers and a small potted garden. By adding stylish, comfortable furniture and decorative touches, you bring your own personal touch to the entire landscape.
When Mother Nature is cooperative, decking is one area that will be used all the time. There are so many reasons to add decking, which makes it a good, worthwhile investment.
Any time you add extra living space, you increase the value of your home. Decking can certainly add value to yours. By maintaining the decking by keeping it clean and properly waterproofed or sealed if necessary, it will continue to add value to a home for years to come.
When properly maintained and decorated, it’s also a great selling feature.
Decking constructed from a soft timber like pine, cedar or spruce requires yearly maintenance to prevent mold, mildew and rotting. Timber decking constructed of a hard wood like ash or oak requires maintenance every 3-5 years for long-lasting results.
Decking made from timber of any kind should use pressure-treated wood. This is a process where a preservative is added and penetrates deeply inside the wood to protect it from the elements and extend life expectancy of soft timber wood.
