Balance Space and Functionality
When planning your deck size, it’s important to balance how much yard space you want to dedicate to the structure with how you plan to use it.
Key Factors to Consider:
- Purpose: Entertaining requires more space; a private retreat needs less.
- Furniture Layout: Consider seating, tables, and grills before deciding on dimensions.
- Proportion: Your deck should complement your home’s size, not overwhelm it.
Standard Sizes
- 12×12 ft: Great for small families or intimate spaces.
- 14×20 ft: Ideal for entertaining and larger furniture.
- Multi-level decks: Perfect for sloped yards or creating separate zones.
Pro Tip: Always allow extra room for traffic flow around furniture.
