Greetings and welcome to our collection showcasing a plethora of amazing and expansive multi-level deck designs! Although a single deck and patio area may suffice for homes with modest backyards, it is currently fashionable to construct vast, multi-level decks if you have the space. Each level serves a distinct purpose; on a single-level deck, grilling, dining, and socializing areas are all cramped into one space. However, for bigger gatherings, people might end up spilling onto your lawn due to limited seating. This is where multi-level decks come in handy.
In designs with multiple levels, each level can serve a specific purpose. Typically, the first level closest to the house is reserved for open-air grilling and dining. The next level is often utilized as a private entertainment area resembling an outdoor living room. On a third level below that, there could be a hot tub or fire pit region. Even if each level is just a few steps down, they can feel like entirely different rooms.
Besides providing multiple outdoor areas, multi-level decks are elevated, allowing storage beneath the deck or a secondary “screened” patio area created by the top deck. There are numerous ways to customize your deck to meet your requirements, so why not contemplate extending your deck beyond a basic square, single-level area?
First on our tour is a two-level deck that overlooks a pool.
