One very cool feature of a raised deck is that you could easily attach a simple set of stairs from your existing ground or second-story level deck to the rooftop deck. If your home is in an area with an incredible view this eagle’s nest of sorts is an exciting opportunity.
Not many homes have a rooftop deck which means your home will be more valuable and unique. This is a bonus if you enjoy having high curb appeal and will also be useful if you later decide to sell your home.
If your home already have little yard space it seems a shame to cover it with a deck, especially since a well-maintained lawn is a thing of beauty.
Choosing a rooftop deck means you won’t take up ground space and you’ll have a more versatile means of entertaining. Visit with guests on the deck and have space for the children to play in the yard below.
While being up in the air seems to be the opposite of privacy, if you put up potted shrubs or privacy screen you’ll find you have better privacy on a rooftop deck than at ground level. This privacy is enjoyable for many and you may also find it’s quiet up there as well.
The very first thing you should remember if you’re considering a rooftop deck is that a normal residential roof is not designed for entertaining purpose, or to have the stress of people or furniture on it.
Using a normal roof as a deck will only serve to damage the protective roofing membrane and void your roofing warranty.
Rooftop decks are a wonderful way to increasing outdoor living space, adding value to your home and diversifying how you can enjoy your property.
It gives you a unique space for entertaining guests and gives you a bird’s eye view of your surrounding environment, something a ground level deck could never do.
