In Arkansas, summer is here! Whether you’re just now coming out of hibernation or you’ve been waiting to finally spend time outdoors for months, having a custom deck makes going outside and staying outside so much easier. All over the United States, the backyard has become the new “family room.” As Central Arkansas’ go-to professional custom deck builders, PermaSteel knows the decision to build a deck comes with more perks besides the ability to catch a tan in your backyard.
Whether you’re looking to improve your home’s resale value, or are looking to add value to your family’s daily life, a custom deck might just be the best decision you make in 2024.
Custom Deck Trends for 2024
Multifunctional Spaces:
As life becomes more hectic, Americans are looking for more ways to spend time outside without having to go far from home. Decks help create multifunctional spaces or extensions of the home. Nowadays, it’s not uncommon to see some sort of outdoor kitchen or entertainment space in combination with a deck. Making a comfortable space that’s just steps from your home’s back door makes it easier to get that much-needed vitamin D without having to go far.
Families with multiple children know the struggle of getting their family outside to play and spend time in the sun. With custom decks that act as multifunctional spaces, you can cook a meal while your kids play in the yard, and eat as the sun sets.
Hosting company becomes a breeze when you have a deck at your disposal! With an outdoor space to entertain guests, you’ll find that the mess of a party will have less of an impact on the interior of your home. Need additional seating? Don’t worry, there’s a table set up on the deck!
Indoor-Outdoor Transitions
Custom decks can be designed to create a seamless transition from inside spaces to outdoor living! By utilizing similar color palettes and materials that are already in your home, you can easily create a custom deck design that feels like an extension of your home.
On those warm Arkansas summer nights, you can leave the doors to the deck open to provide a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors.
Sustainability
In today’s world, with a plethora of resources at our disposal, using sustainable resources is no longer a difficult decision to make. Utilizing eco-friendly materials that are both environmentally conscious and durable is a great way to ensure your deck is well-designed and built to last. With cutting-edge materials like aluminum, steel, and recycled plastics at our disposal, it’s easy to make an environmentally conscious decision without sacrificing your budget and durability.
At PermaSteel, we use Trex composite decking. Trex is the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing. Trex composite decking is made of 95% recycled materials, and is manufactured using a combination of recycled plastic film, like grocery bags, and reclaimed wood, which is sourced from the floors of furniture factories!
PermSteel custom-designed decks built with Trex composite decking materials are made to last. For every custom-designed deck, we offer a fifty-year product warranty.
Making an environmentally friendly investment for your home using sustainable resources not only brings value to your daily life but also to your home’s eventual resale value. Every choice we make to improve our homes can impact the resale value, should we one day decide to relocate or make a change. And though it may not be your goal to sell your home anytime soon, every way to improve our homes, and our lives, is worth the investment!
Smart Features
Smart features such as smartphone-controlled lighting and speakers are sure to get your friends and family talking. There are many outdoor smart gadgets on the market, such as Amazon Alexa-controlled lighting and speakers, color-changing bulbs, and projector screens for outdoor movies and TV shows.
Smart devices can also be used to keep your home safe. Using products like the Ring doorbell and security system at your home’s backdoor can ensure that no unwanted visitors make use of your custom deck.
