Things to Consider When Planning a Deck

  • Deck Material: Horizon installs high quality Timbertech PVC decking
  • Seating: Deck space goes away quickly with patio tables and chairs.  Think about how much open space you want to have after the tables and chairs.
  • Stairs: Planning a deck is similar to planning an interior living space.  Consider traffic patterns and how stairways and doorways will affect how the space is utilized.
  • Cooking: Do you need a bump out for the grill? Or even a roof over part of the space?
  • Lighting: This can be as simple as a coach light on the side of the house, post cap lights, or lights in the stairs.
