• Composite Wood Decks: These are outdoor living spaces typically constructed using a combination of wood fibers, plastics, and other materials. Composite decks are known for their durability, low maintenance requirements, and resistance to rot, decay, and insect damage. They offer a natural appearance similar to wood but with added longevity and less susceptibility to weathering.
• Open and Screened-in Porches: Both open and screened-in porches are extensions of a house, providing a covered outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment. Open porches are exposed to the elements and usually feature a roof supported by columns or posts, while screened-in porches have screens enclosing the space, offering protection from bugs and debris while allowing airflow. These spaces often include seating areas, dining sets, and sometimes amenities like ceiling fans or heaters.
• Under-Deck Patios: Under-deck patios utilize the space beneath an elevated deck, turning it into a functional outdoor living area. This space is often covered with a water-resistant membrane or other materials to protect against rain, allowing homeowners to enjoy the area even during inclement weather. Under-deck patios can be outfitted with seating, outdoor kitchens, or even hot tubs, maximizing the usable space in a backyard.
• Sunrooms: Sunrooms, also known as solariums or conservatories, are enclosed living spaces attached to the exterior of a house, primarily designed to admit sunlight and provide panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. These rooms feature large windows or glass walls and are typically insulated for year-round use. Sunrooms can serve as additional living areas, dining rooms, or garden rooms, allowing occupants to enjoy the outdoors while remaining protected from the elements.
• Gazebos: Gazebos are freestanding outdoor structures with a roof and open sides, often found in gardens, parks, or residential properties. They typically have a hexagonal or octagonal shape and are supported by columns or posts. Gazebos provide a shaded area for relaxation, dining, or hosting gatherings, and they can be equipped with benches, tables, or other seating options.
• Pergolas: Pergolas are outdoor structures consisting of vertical posts or pillars that support cross-beams and an open lattice roof. They are designed to provide partial shade, define outdoor spaces, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of a backyard or garden. Pergolas can be used to support climbing plants such as vines or roses, creating a natural canopy and adding greenery to the space. They are popular for outdoor dining areas, seating arrangements, or as decorative elements in landscaping designs.
