Outdoor Living Spaces: Creating Your Dream Deck in Vancouver

Vancouvers’ climate is great for letting you enjoy your deck for more of the year than in many other places in Canada. But how can you get the maximum amount of enjoyment out of your deck? In today’s blog we will be looking at outdoor living spaces and how they can help you create your dream deck in Vancouver.

What is an outdoor living space?

Outdoor Living Spaces are specially designed decks or sections of decks that are designed to facilitate a certain aspect of outdoor living, whether that be cooking, entertaining or simply lounging. Some of the most popular outdoor living spaces are outdoor kitchens and dining areas but you can build pretty much any space you can imagine and integrate it into your deck.

What features can I include in outdoor living spaces?

The features you can include in an outdoor living space depend entirely on what you want to use the space for. For general features you can consider adding roofing, structures or patio covers to help protect your outdoor living space from the elements, you could consider adding heating features like outdoor fireplaces or fire pits to help you enjoy your deck year-round. For outdoor kitchens you can consider adding things like integrated storage for dishes and cooking implements or integrated appliances like stoves or barbeques or even refrigeration. You can even build extravagant entertaining spaces with built-in areas for sports or outdoor games. You could also integrate hot tubs or pools to take your outdoor living space to the next level. You can also build different zones so you can integrate multiple outdoor living spaces into your deck, like having both an outdoor kitchen and an outdoor living room.
