Which outdoor living space will best suit you? Maybe one space will not do. Archadeck can help you choose the best outdoor living spaces for your needs.
Making the decision to add an outdoor living space is a big one and there are many considerations that come into play. What type structure do you want? How large should it be? What building materials should you use? There are some questions that are even more important. These include:
- How do you intend to use your new outdoor living space?
- If you want more than one space, should you build it all at once, or in phases?
An experienced Winston Salem deck builder will guide you through each decision.
Many of our clients wonder whether a deck or a porch will better suit their needs. Some are weighting decks against patios. Questions about structure types and materials should be the last questions on your list. Ask yourself if you’d like to eat outside. If so, how often? Do you want to do a lot of grilling? Do you plan on curling up with a good book quite regularly in your new space? How much do you like direct sunlight? Sun is great but oftentimes, clients wish for at least some protection from our North Carolina sun.
You can wish for more than one use, more than one outdoor living space – and with Archadeck, you can achieve it.
In the questions above, you probably answered yes to most of them. You want to eat outside. You want to relax outside. You want direct sun. But sometimes, you don’t want direct sun. This is very common. That’s why Archadeck of the Piedmont Triad builds custom outdoor living combination spaces. These might include a porch and open-air deck or patio.
Should you build all your outdoor living spaces at once, or in phases?
For some clients, it makes sense to build one or two spaces immediately and add more later. However, in the spirit of saving money in the long run, it is wise to create a harmonious design of multiple outdoor spaces, and build them all at once. This not only means savings overall, but it is also more convenient to get all the building completed at once. This means you won’t be tearing up your yard or interrupting your life next year or the year after to add on to your outdoor living design. It also ensures that all your materials age harmoniously.
This was the sensible option for these Winston Salem clients. Their new outdoor living space includes a 3-season room and deck. These spaces combined, accommodated all their outdoor living requirements.
