Use Your Deck as Entertainment Space
Whether you love to host large gatherings or just the occasional family cookout, there’s a deck for you.

Events and Gatherings
To host truly grand affairs, you need more than a patio table and a few chairs. A great party deck can include an outdoor kitchen, built-in seating, and plenty of grilling equipment. And don’t forget the fire pit to stay warm on those chilly Nova Scotia nights!

Dining
If you love to bring your family together for a meal under the stars, consider building a deck that truly incorporates the dining space. You can have a table designed to fit the right number of people and make sure it’s near the kitchen. For a social dinner, consider a pass-through window for a truly integrated experience.

Feature Interesting Materials
Decks aren’t just about plain wood these days. Explore other building options as well.

Mix and Match
Get a sophisticated look by using multiple types of materials in your outdoor space. For example, concrete gives a distinctly urban feel and so do steel railings. A seasoned deck builder can provide tons of innovative suggestions to achieve the vibe you want.

Living Centerpiece
Want to incorporate a piece of nature into your outdoor space? Consider building around an existing tree. It’s a great solution that can save a beautiful native plant without sacrificing your deck plans.

Get Creative with Your Available Space
You can design a deck to fit just about any space, no matter how small or oddly shaped. Here’s some inspiration.

Mini Deck
Decks can really expand in any direction. Even if you have a narrow yard, an extended deck can open up a small space for an inviting gathering site.

Corner Deck
If you can’t build out, you may be able to build around with a corner deck. This is also a great way to create segmented seating areas.

Private Oasis
You don’t need to be an avid entertainer to enjoy a deck. Consider building off your master bedroom. There’s no better way to unwind each evening than enjoying some quiet time listening to your surroundings.
