A patio enhances the space that your home provides and adds an outdoor element to it. Before beginning your project, decide what uses you will put your patio to. Start by making a list of all the things you can possible do on your patio. Will you use it for entertaining, barbeque parties, to relax by yourself or will you also use to house some of your plants? Are you looking for a garden patio, outdoor patio, or a regular backyard patio? Will a cement patio weather better? Does a screened patio fit in with the rest of the house? Do some research to get patio ideas, books, Internet, other people’s homes are all sources of inspiration. A week or two will give you all the information you need.
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.

Hi. I have a large elevated deck that wraps around a single-family home. I have concerns about the structural integrity of the deck, so I'd like to find out if it's safe, and if not, how much it would cost to make it safe. Thanks in advance!

We currently have a deck made of cedar wood and it's less than a year old; however, we now know we should have gone with the composite. We are now wanting to re-done in composite using as much of the current materials, i.e., black railing, to cut down on cost.
