an outdoor patio with potted plants and flowers on the ground next to a house

Outdoor living is the best thing about summer’s warm weather, especially here in the northeast where winter dominates for too many months of the year. Even on those nights when the day has been sweltering, stepping outside to see the fireflies makes for precious memories. My husband and I love our patio and dream of one day making the space more useful, so here’s to that dream with 10 decks that inspire!

a wooden deck in front of a white house

Rails are usually required for a deck project per village or city requirements. In the case that your desk is low-to the ground, some homeowners are able to design & build a deck without rail. This create an open look and in this case allows for a wide step to enter or exit the deck. This deck also features attached floating benches which provide extra seating.

a wooden deck with the words tips for a low ground level deck on top of it

A ground-level deck can be built from 2×4 if the span is less than 5’8″ (1.72m), using ground contact treated lumber. Under a 2×4 deck, the ground will need to be covered to prevent weed growth through the decking on such a low deck. The decking needs to be designed for ground contact or sufficiently raised off the ground to prevent rot.
