Deck to Impress: Discover the Best Deck Trends of 2015
Two ducks were skipping across their deck when suddenly one tripped and fell. It got up and said to the other duck, “I’m sorry. I tripped on a quack.”
Follow these deck trends to help you skip smoothly across your deck this summer:
Composite Decking Material
Generally, customers no longer ask for wood decking because wood decking can splinter, crack, and warp. As a result, wood decks typically need a deck restoration or deck replacement within a few years. Composite decking material is a smart alternative that is made from a combination of recycled plastic and wood fiber. Composite decking material lasts longer and generally creates maintenance free decking. Visit the UglyDeck.com gallery to see before and after pictures of decks with composite decking material.
Multi-Level Decks
One level decks are so last year! Multiple levels add character and unique design interest to any deck. Depending on the height of the multi levels, you can incorporate a deck spiral staircase or just a few steps. Include maintenance free railings from UglyDeck.com and your deck is sure to impress!
Grey Decks and Two-Toned Boards
Wood tones of grey or brown are usually more popular than an unnatural look. Deck owners are increasingly moving away from a single color deck and opting for two-toned composite decking material.
Curved Designs
Curved decks are more popular with composite material than wood. To create these curves, the composite material is heated up so the designers can bend it into shape. Ask UglyDeck.com for ideas and pictures.
Lighting
Outdoor lighting is always important. People have gone from using fun temporary lighting to classy permanent lighting on the deck. If you choose lighting that is solar or low voltage, the deck builder can usually install the lights and you may not have to hire an electrician. UglyDeck.com can recommend lighting to achieve the glow you want.
