HOW MUCH DECK DO YOU NEED?

Mar 21, 2023

By Deck Expert, Adam Hollander

This question is a very important because you probably only want to do this project one time. So, having the right size deck and one that you are comfortable with are very important. Some factors that can help you determine the size of your new deck are as follows.

What size is your current deck, and does it accomplish what you need?

What size will your table be and are you going to get a new table? How many chairs?
You should factor in enough room for someone to walk around the chairs when they are pulled out from the table.
Will you have a grill or other cooking device on the deck? How big will it be?
Do you like to entertain and how many people will you have on your new deck at one time?
What else do you like to do, or what would you like to do on your deck?
What are your thoughts on the stairs and where do you want them to start? This decision could help influence the size of your deck.

Think questions through before deciding on your new deck. It is usually much more cost effective to get a new larger size deck rather than add on to a new smaller size deck.

“We just had Outback do our complete deck teardown and rebuild (adding a covered patio), and we are extremely satisfied with how it turned out! The attention to the details and oversight of the construction teams took extra burden off of us. I can't thank Outback Deck enough for driving the project to completion so smoothly.”

Ross H.

“Outback was great to work with. They were transparent and kept us well-informed from the first sales meeting to completion of the project. The deck and patio they constructed are beautiful. The materials and work are high quality, and well in excess of any building codes. With the composite decking and aluminum railing, we can look forward to many years of enjoyment with little to no maintenance.”

“Absolutely wonderful company to work with!!! The beautiful covered deck they made for us is just stunning. They use the finest craftsmen to complete their projects and their work is good value for the money. I recommend this company fully and enthusiastically.”

Janet H.

“The footings and bracing of the deck support are what impressed us most. BP did an excellent proposal, JR provide excellent follow through and CM kept the project on task. After watching the construction of our new deck, step by step, we could see the extra measures Outback Deck puts in their workmanship. If we ever have an earthquake, we will run to the deck for the safe place.”
