Multi-level decks offer a range of fun advantages.
Backyard decks come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. They may be elegant rectangles or custom shapes that suit the available space. They may have stairs that curve or lead straight down into the backyard. Some may even have multiple levels. If you are looking to build a brand new deck, here are several benefits of multi-level decks that could be of interest.
Create Separate Zones
The most obvious effect that multi-level decks have is separate zoning. Changing two deck areas with one or more steps can change how you use the space. One space becomes two, and that can help you create outdoor living spaces with more specific purposes. It also enhances the privacy of each space.
Work with the Terrain
Sometimes, it may actually be easier to install a deck with multiple levels rather than just one, as the deck will be better adjusted to uneven ground. For example, if you build a deck over a slope, it makes more sense to create tiers. In some cases, building a deck with multiple levels is the most efficient use of the space.
Blend into the Backyard
If you have plenty of backyard space or you want to use the ground level for outdoor living as well, a multi-level deck could be the best way to transition from an upper story to the ground. A cascading deck with multiple platforms could replace having one level deck with one patio beneath it.
Create a Shaded Deck
Some multi-level decks have overlapping platforms so that one level is directly below another. Designing a deck like this could give you some much-needed shade, using the design itself to create that shade. The most common shade features for an exposed deck would include patio umbrellas and pergolas.
Make the Most of Your Backyard
If your backyard has the space for a glorious, multi-level deck, then it could be worth it to build out the best one possible. A deck that works with the home’s architecture and the land is the best deck to have. If you live in Maryland, Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence is ready to help you make it happen.
