(NAPSI)-Homeowners have begun looking outdoors to create new and exciting living spaces. To design your customized space, the place to start is the deck: alternative decking solutions provide a comfortable setting for your outdoor lifestyle. Unlike traditional treated wood, composite and PVC planks offer many design options, so you can achieve the look you want. Here are a few tips to help you when designing your deck: • Decide which design elements reflect your lifestyle and your home. Select the size and seating plan based on how you will most often use your deck. • Take a look at the primary and accent colors on your home’s exterior. Do you want your deck to blend in or complement and “frame” the outside? Take any significant landscaping features into consideration, such as trees, slopes or rocks. • Review the colors and styles of composite and PVC decking available. Don’t hesitate to ask questions and discuss your design goals. “With so many plank colors and style options, homeowners have plenty of choices,” says Kevin Brennan, senior vice president, sales and marketing for TimberTech, a leading manufacturer of composite decking, railing and fencing products. “Homeowners can customize the looks they want to fit their outdoor lifestyles.” • Consider railing and fencing. Railings can match or complement your deck, adding yet another design element. Since a fence is one of the most visible extensions of your home, you want to make sure it’s aesthetically pleasing and reflects your personal style. Once you’ve made your decisions and the design is finished, make sure it adheres to zone ordinances and size restrictions by verifying with your contractor or decking professional.
