Best Deck Design for Seniors

By admin on July 13, 2018

As a deck building company in Massachusetts, we build quite a few decks for older homeowners. Some of our clients are enjoying their retirement while others are still looking forward to it. We’ve found that there are some deck design elements that senior homeowners really appreciate, and this is what they are:

Low Maintenance Decking Materials

Key to deck design for seniors is keeping everything easy to enjoy. That means low maintenance, because who wants to spend time stripping and refinishing a wooden deck? Today’s best decking materials include PVC and composite, which never needs painting, resists moisture and insect damage, and doesn’t warp or split, no matter hot or cold it gets.

Convenient Outdoor Kitchens

Having a well designed outdoor kitchen means enjoying the grill is simple and easy – everything you need is conveniently in place and you don’t need to make repeated trips back and forth to the kitchen. Features to look for in an outdoor kitchen: refrigeration units to keep cold ingredients cold, running water for clean up, and a cooking surface you’ll enjoy using.

Next Level Flower Boxes

Many seniors love gardening. When mobility challenges make getting around the yard difficult, you don’t have to give up enjoying your flowers and vegetables. Just choose a Massachusetts deck building company that specializes in creative deck design. Built in planters, flower boxes at accessible heights, and other garden-focused features mean you can have a lovely green space right on your deck!

Safety & Lighting

Some of the most important aspects of deck design for seniors are things you might not notice if you don’t look for them. It has to do with the quality of construction. Accessibility features like wide, easy to climb steps, strong secure handrails, and strategically placed lighting can make enjoying the deck safer for everyone.
