Nothing enhances the outdoor space in your home like a patio. It is one of the best home improvement ideas that you can implement. But you need to have some very clear ideas about what you will use your patio for. Start by making a list of all the things you can do on your patio. This includes entertaining friends, having barbeque parties, finding a space for your rare plants, and a place to do your meditation. Decide whether you want a garden patio or a backyard patio? Does a patio porch sound like the perfect addition to your home or would you rather have a screened patio? Go online and scour the net for great new patio ideas. Dig deep into magazines or just take a look around the neighborhood. Some of the most stylish decks may be hidden away near you and you may not even know it!
Location plays an important part when you decide to build a patio. Decide how much space you can set aside for your patio and where you will locate it before you start the project. Choose an area that is well drained and has equal amounts of shade, wind and sunlight. The ideal location should slope away from the house. Make sure that it is not noisy and think of specifics like furniture and hammocks when you are looking at location. If you plan to have hammock, does the area provide you with enough anchoring points? Does it have enough swinging room. Ideally speaking, anchor points need to be 5 6 feet from the ground. The basic criterion is that the patio should enhance the conveniences that your home already provides.
I have a wood deck, structure beneath is fine, but I want to replace wood flooring and railings with Azek. The deck has two levels: main deck 12 x 14', lower deck 14 x 19 1/2'. Boards on main deck run horizontal, lower deck diagonal.
