How to design a Decks, Verandahs & Pergolas
The room with no walls that the family actually fights over.
A good deck or pergola is designed like an outdoor room. The conversation is about height, roof and connection to the house, so stepping outside feels like gaining a room rather than crossing a threshold.
The decisions that matter most
Level with the inside
Keeping the deck close to the internal floor level makes the indoors and outdoors read as one continuous space.
Roof or open to the sky
A roofed verandah earns year round use, while an open pergola keeps winter sun. Decide which matters most for your yard.
Pick timber for the climate
Choose decking materials for how they handle sun and rain locally, not just the showroom colour.
Design in the lighting
Plan power and lights at the start so the space works after dark without trailing cords.
