  • 7 Features Your Custom Deck Must Have

Join us and discover the absolute must-haves for your bespoke deck creations. These 7 custom items will help you turn your design from a simple deck into a relaxation masterpiece and stunning addition to your home. Come and have a look!

1. Multiple Levels

Whilst standard decks are often flat and boring a custom version can have as many levels as you like. Our recommendation is to have no more than 2 or 3 levels.

2. Elegant Metal Railings

This is something that is very clearly visible at all times. Therefore, why not make it special with a unique metal design? When you go custom, standard ideas can go out the window.

3. A Cozy Gazebo

Why not ask some deck companies near twin cities about including a gazebo into your deck, that way you can use it on sunny and rainy days alike?

4. Planters

Bring in some greenery by adding some foliage to your deck with in-built planters. Place them in corners and gaps that are easily accessible for watering.

5. Illumination

Light up that gorgeous deck with some bright or mood-evoking lighting. Choose the style you want to emit by the illumination that you select.

6. Fireplace

Want to stay warm on those colder nights? Add a fireplace to your custom deck and bring some marshmallows and have a lovely evening by the flames.

7. Hot Tub Area

What about a chill space where you can relax in a hot tub? Many deck contractors in Chicago are now including extra spaces on the decks so you can do just that.
