If not, you may want to add a new home opening to provide you with easy access to your new deck.

You want to be sure that your new deck addition blends nicely or complements your home as much as possible. Stylish decks can be made of composites or wood with composites offering the greater durability. Composite boards are made of a blend of plastic and wood fibers which makes them look a whole lot more realistic than in years past. They are also available in a wide range of colors. Wood is a common material for building decks, but wood planks, though less expensive than composites, can splinter, crack, warp or rot over time especially if the wood is not maintained properly.
