Popular Deck Types Island Decks

Island decks allow for limitless possibilities.

Without the constraints of being attached to a home, a freestanding deck allows you to explore unique layouts and material choices. If you’re interested in covering the low-level deck with a roof or pergola, you don’t need to account for your home’s roof or windows in the pitch or shape.

These detached spaces also complement other outdoor living features like a pool, patio, or garden bed for a complete outdoor oasis. Even when keeping the design simple, island decks create a serene, set-aside space in your backyard for relaxation and entertaining.
