Homeowners are discovering what restaurant owners found out months ago. A new deck and patio table make the best seat in the house. New decks provide out door dining and lounging spaces that reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission.
New Decks for Your Dining
Design your new Orange County deck around your lifestyle, not your lifestyle around the new deck. In other words, design a new deck that works for you.
Are you into formal gastronomic experiences? Well, then make sure your dining deck gives you ample room for a large table and a standing wine bucket.
Feeling a bit casual? Then opt for a deck with a built in banquette. Toss a few pillows on the banquette and you’ve got additional casual seating. Pull out another table and just like that you’ve got additional dining areas.
If you need a spot for storage, build the banquettes with hinged tops and use the area underneath for storing candles, decor, and additional lights.
This rooftop deck offers intimate dining for two. To maximize the urban view, bar height chairs are seated at a high-top table. Now, this is creative use of the vertical to maximize the lack of horizontal. In other words, by drawing the eye up, it doesn’t notice that the space is small.
When you sit at this deck, you almost feel as if you are at your favorite little bistro. But you are safe at home, outside, and minimizing your COVID-19 risk.
Must Haves for New Decks in Orange County
It doesn’t matter if your new deck is for dining or lounging or star gazing. There are a few things you need to keep in mind when contemplating new decks in Orange County.
Permitting. It’s important to check out your city’s requirement for pulling a building permit. Even projects as simple as a new deck are considered new construction and require permits.
It’s best to ask now that find out in the future when you try to sell your home. Banks and mortgage companies increasingly ask to permit copies for all improvements. And, if a problem is discovered during an inspection, sellers might walk away.
HOA approval. One in every two Orange County residents lives in an HOA. If your house is in an HOA, find out about the approval process before you hire a contractor. Most of the time, working with the HOA to build a new deck isn’t a hassle if you follow the process.
