How to Choose the Right Deck Size for Your Project

Building a composite deck at home is a fantastic way to enhance your outdoor living area and bring beauty and functionality to your space. But how do you choose the right deck size for your specific needs? There are several factors to consider:

1. Weight and Load Capacity

• Longer boards tend to be heavier, which may require more support during installation. This is particularly important for larger decks or if you plan to place heavy furniture on the deck. Ensure that the structure can handle the additional weight.

2. Installation Ease

• Longer boards are more challenging to install due to their weight and length. It may require more manpower and support during the installation process. Consider the skill level of your installation team and the layout of your deck.

3. Temperature Changes and Expansion

• WPC decking expands and contracts slightly with temperature fluctuations. Shorter boards experience less expansion and contraction than longer ones, making them a better choice for regions with extreme temperature changes. If you are in a climate with mild temperature fluctuations, longer boards may not be as problematic.

4. Aesthetics and Visual Appeal

• The 3.6m composite decking boards offer an aesthetically pleasing appearance. These lengths provide a more seamless look, especially if you want a longer, uninterrupted deck surface. In addition, longer boards often reduce the number of seams, resulting in a cleaner, more polished look.

Considerations for Deck Width

Choosing the right deck width is equally important. It greatly depends on your aesthetic preferences and the width options offered by the manufacturer. LVSENWOOD provides various width choices ranging from 135mm to 150mm.

If you're unsure about which width is best for you, it's a good idea to request samples from the manufacturer. This allows you to see firsthand how the width looks in your space before committing to a purchase.

Deck Thickness and Strength

The thickness of the deck is a critical factor in ensuring the deck is sturdy and can hold the weight of people and furniture without warping or sagging. Here’s what you need to know:

• Too thin of a deck can lead to a bouncy or unstable surface, especially if the joists are spaced far apart.
• Consider the spacing between joists when selecting the thickness of the deck. A thicker deck is ideal if you plan on having more substantial weight on your deck.

At LVSENWOOD, we offer various thicknesses, ranging from 20mm to 25mm, to ensure a solid surface that supports your deck's functionality.

Decking Patterns for Maximum Visual Appeal

After selecting the appropriate length, width, and thickness, the next step is choosing a deck pattern. The way you lay your deck boards will have a significant impact on the overall aesthetics. Common patterns include:

• Straight Lay: Simple, clean, and modern.
• Herringbone: Adds a touch of sophistication and elegance.
• Diagonal: Creates the illusion of a larger space and more dynamic visual flow.

Make sure to choose a pattern that complements the design of your home and outdoor space.
