What is the difference between a Hardwood Patio and a Hardwood Deck?
Oftentimes homeowners use these terms interchangeably, but there are differences between the two. A patio refers to an outdoor space placed directly on the ground. This area may be connected to the house or constructed in a separate part of the yard. Patios often have concrete bases, but some homeowners use stone, tile, brick or other materials to create the foundation. In most cases patios do not have a rail; they may or may not be covered. Today’s patios might feature party goodies like fire pits, built in barbecues, and sitting areas, making them the perfect relaxation or socialization space.
If You Have the Space, We’ve Got the Wood
Decks, on the other hand, are typically constructed out of hardwood. Though they can be built near the ground, they are not placed directly on the ground and feature some type of support system to hold up the addition. Decks may be built off of the lower floor of a home, such as the living room or kitchen, or they might be added to an upper level room or even on a rooftop setting. Decks are typically enclosed with some type of railing and often offer the homeowner excellent views of their surroundings.
Patio or Deck: Making Your Budget Count
The Power to Build you Best
The cost of the project will depend upon a variety of factors. These include:
- Materials used
- Location of the addition (on the ground without supports, above ground, on the house with a door already leading out or in an area in which a door addition must be made)
- Size of the addition
- Features, such as a built in barbecue, railings, seating, supports
Another consideration to factor into the addition equation is the slope of the yard on which you plan to place the patio or deck. For instance, since a patio is placed directly on the ground, you’ll want to choose a space that is level. Patios may not be the best choice for uneven ground because the cost to create a level foundation can double or triple the cost of the actual addition.
While installing a new hardwood deck or patio, the Kayu team recommends that you allow adequate ventilation for proper air flow to reduce the potential for cupping and surface checking with any wood (see diagram).
Create a slope for drainage so there is zero chance of standing water.
And it is very important to check and follow your local building codes, since they can vary from county to county and state to state.
