Yes, planning the size and location is necessary before installing a new deck. Think about the deck’s purpose; would you like to create an outside seating or eating area, or perhaps a relaxing space for late-night star-gazingstargazing or early-morning sunrises? You don’t want to make it too small so that you can’t use it for much, and you don’t want to make it too big that it takes up the entire garden.
When choosing a location in your garden for a deck, think about the trees and view around you. You don’t want to be cast in too much shade or have too much sun during the summer. You also don’t want a family of birds in a tree messing on your deck. Once you have your idea, take some measurements of the desired location, and an decking expert will help you plan your perfect deck!
