Types and Styles of Outdoor Decks

Spring is upon us, meaning that days spent outdoors—whether grilling, socializing, or relaxing—are right around the corner. Outdoor decks are an excellent way to utilize your exterior space to become an extension of your indoor living space. For homeowners in the research stage of their deck shopping, deciding which deck style to put in can be overwhelming. Fortunately, the team at Dercon has put together a few of the most popular outdoor deck types so that you can confidently make your final decision.

Wrap-Around Decks

Starting off strong, the wrap-around deck is a timeless choice, providing ample room for relaxation and hosting. This particular style is ideal for homes with a generous amount of outdoor space, as it does take up a good portion of the yard. With a wrap-around deck, you’ll have more than enough space to entertain and decorate your new living space.

Multi-Level Decks

For homes built on sloped terrains or for those looking to create a layered look in their outdoor space, multi-level decks are the way to go. These decks offer various levels connected by steps or pathways, each serving a distinct purpose.

Detached Decks

To the surprise of many, not all decks need to be attached to your home. Detached decks stand alone, offering a separate space that can be positioned to capture the best views of your property. This is the perfect option for those with limited space or who want a deck further away from the indoor living space. 

Patio Decks

Patio decks are the quintessential outdoor space for those who love to blend indoor comfort with the beauty of the outdoors. Often constructed at ground level, these decks are accessible and can be easily customized to match your home's architecture. The materials and design options are endless, from rustic wood to modern composites.
