Creating Height on Your Patio
Platform decks are a great way to give your patio or backyard area more height and detail. This type of decking affords a homeowner the opportunity to have a uniquely designed decking system that adds beauty to the backyard area. Platform decks run from simple to ornate in their designs. You are only limited by your imagination.
As its name implies the platform deck is at least two levels. The bottom level can be as simple as a stepping up point to the top tier. Consider designing in shapes other than square such as octagonal. Run boards in opposing directions to create interest in your designs. Add railing or benches to further the detail and design of your new platform deck. You can even add a gazebo in the corner. A platform deck is the perfect way to give your patio a greater sense of depth and height which will bring you years of enjoyment.
