An outdoor deck may be a good way to extend your home’s recreational space, a multi-level outdoor deck does it better on so many levels, in more than one sense. In today’s post, the local decking and siding contractors PJ Sullivan Exteriors share the advantages of a multi-level deck design.
Make the Most Out of Your Yard’s Natural Slope
Not all backyards are perfectly flat. If yours happen to have a pronounced slope, a multi-level outdoor deck will let you make the most use out of your yard, even if your home is built on a hill. Deck barriers make the outdoor deck safe for use. With a good deck contractor, you can have a multi-platform outdoor deck that is both stable, and can let you make efficient use of your yard.
Multi-Level Can Be Multi-Purpose
A multi-level outdoor deck lets you assign “areas” in your yard. For example, a ground-level deck can be your kids’ play area, while an adjoining upper deck can be a picnic or barbecue area where you can keep an eye on the kids at play.
Alternatively, an upper-level deck can be used for sunning and other dry activities and be connected to a lower poolside deck. Outdoor decks can also function as a temporary spot for you and your kids when the house is unavailable.
Enjoy Excellent Views
What’s better than enjoying a view from enjoying a view—be it a beautiful sunset or a panoramic skyline—from an upper-level window? Enjoying it from an upper-level deck. The outdoor breeze can add to the experience of enjoying the view. An upper deck that’s accessible from the yard makes it all the more convenient. You can even enjoy a romantic dinner with a view whenever the occasion calls for it.
Blend In With Natural Surroundings
If you happen to have tall and old trees in your property, a multi-level outdoor deck lets you extend your yard space to surrounding trees without causing them harm. It lets you enjoy your natural surroundings, have private conversations or enjoy brunch away from the hustle and bustle in your home—it’s like having a treehouse for adults.
