Create The Deck Of Your Dreams This Summer

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.

Extending your house by adding room outside is the new thing to do. Many residents in N.J. have unused space that provides no shelter from rain or snow. Our new metal systems allow a leak-proof method to protect that space below your deck with no gaps between decking. That means your protected below your deck.

If you need someplace to put your belongings or just a room to entertain your buddies, your new protected space is a great place to kick back or to put your extra stuff. Of course, that isn't the only point of choosing these new materials over older picks. "These materials are meant to last forever with very little maintenance. They stand up to the elements and will never rot or rust," says Bert Holland of Duraview Decking.

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 Madison Deck Builder. "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."

Once your deck is finished, there's no end to the ways you can decorate it. Add potted or hanging plants - the water runoff won't harm your aluminum deck like it would wood. Add a table with an umbrella and comfortable chairs, and you're set to enjoy the nice weather. The deck is also the perfect place for your grill, as most decks are built off the kitchen. Add some benches for extra seating, and you're ready to entertain.
