🛠️ The Deck You’ve Been Dreaming Of: How to Plan the Perfect Outdoor Space
As the weather warms up and Ohio homeowners head outside, now is the perfect time to turn your attention to the deck. Whether you're picturing lazy summer evenings on the back porch or planning a space for cookouts and family gatherings, the right deck can completely transform your home’s exterior.
At Kline Home Exteriors, we specialize in custom decking solutions built for beauty, durability, and year-round use. Here’s how to get started building the deck you’ve been dreaming of.
✅ Step 1: Define Your Purpose
Before diving into designs or materials, think about how you want to use your deck:
- Entertaining guests? Consider larger layouts with open space for seating and dining.
- Relaxation zone? A smaller, more private layout with shade options may be best.
- Pool or hot tub nearby? You’ll want structural support and slip-resistant materials.
We work with homeowners across Ohio to tailor each deck to their lifestyle and needs.
✅ Step 2: Choose the Right Materials
The materials you choose will determine how your deck looks, feels, and lasts. We recommend composite decking for its low maintenance and high-end appearance.
Some of our favorite combinations include:
- Spiced Teak & Rustic Walnut
- Vintage Oak & Woodland Bark
- Harbor Gray & Alpine Fog
These colors not only look great but also offer durability that outperforms traditional wood. Envision Ridge Premium, for example, offers 33% more traction than other brands—perfect for hot tubs, pool decks, and safe play areas.
✅ Step 3: Think Beyond the Boards
The best decks go beyond just floorboards. We help you think through:
- Black Tuscany railing or other decorative railing options
- Stairs and landings for walk-out basements or sloped yards
- Built-in lighting for evening ambiance
- Under-deck storage or rain management systems
From large multi-tiered decks to simple backyard upgrades, we build each structure to match your home and vision.
