By following these basic principles, you will be enjoying your backyard’s makeover
in no time.
Know your climate
Familiarise yourself with the climatic conditions of your backyard and the areas
you use the most for sunlight, wind and rain protection. Simply provide us with
a hand-drawn map of where the sunny spots are and directions of wind.
Functionality
Know your lifestyle. Consider where you do your entertaining, relaxing and where
you would like to spend most of your time. Understanding which areas are the most
functional will determine the best way to incorporate your living space resulting
in a welcoming backyard that is functional, versatile as well as extending your
home’s interior living space.
What stays or goes
Know what you want to keep in your backyard by understanding what you can improve
or remove. Think about what you enjoy most about your backyard and what needs to
be improved, this will help you decide what needs to be changed.
Privacy
If you would prefer a private entertaining area, timber screening is an ideal functional
method that maximises your privacy whilst adding visual appeal. Screens can be very
useful as dividers between neighbours to enhance visual and acoustic privacy in
the backyard.
Old meets new
Your deck can be designed to configure around existing plants and structures to
maximise the opportunities for design elements to be flexible. Big Decks Australia
prides itself on sustaining the natural environment of backyards, specialising in
timber deck sculpture. Flexibility can also be maximised by creating a design that
has multiple uses. For example, timber platforms can double as seats, sun lounges,
storage areas and plant or pond retainers.
One of a Kind
Make your deck unique. Big Decks Australia can offer a great range of products for
mixing building mediums to create something special. By incorporating stainless
steel hardware into your project you can achieve a look that compliments your lifestyle
as well as modernise your home. For example, plants can be trained to follow stainless-steel
cables or structures, creating interest by showcasing personalised detail.
