Curved Deck Material And Maintenance
Composite decking materials are a popular choice for curved decks. Composite deck boards are made from wood fibers and recycled plastics. They are a popular choice for decks because they are eco-friendly and require minimal maintenance.
Because of how composite decking is manufactured, they are low-maintenance, and they are resistant to rot, insect infestation, and decay.
To keep these decks looking good requires only a simple cleaning of the deck surface with mild detergent and water, as needed. Inspect the deck regularly for damage and avoid staining or sealing the composite decking. Composite decks last around 30 to 50 years.
How We Create Curved Decks
Creating curved decks is an interesting process. Here is how we do it:
To achieve the desired curved shape, the selected composite boards are carefully heated using specialized equipment, such as a heat blanket or heat gun, to soften the material without causing damage.
The optimal heating temperature varies based on the material, and once heated, the boards become flexible and can be bent into the desired shape. Precision in this step is crucial for uniformity and consistency in the final design.
Specifically crafted molds or templates are used to shape the boards and maintain the intended curvature, ensuring a uniform appearance across the entire deck.
After shaping and cooling, the boards are secured in place using fasteners such as screws or clips, anchoring them securely in their curved form.
Curved railings are precisely mapped and calculated before being ordered from the manufacturer, with aluminum railings typically chosen for this process.
Functional Features Of Curved Decks
Curved deck plans allow for the creation of distinct functional zones, especially if it is a multi-level deck. Here are some ideas for these different areas:
A cooking and outdoor kitchen level with outdoor dining
A place to lounge for outdoor relaxation, perhaps with a hot tub, fire pit, or fireplace
An entertainment spot with an outdoor bar and large screen TV
Adds to the square footage of the usable space at home

Important Design Considerations For Curved Decks
When designing a custom curved deck, carefully evaluate the structural and aesthetic implications to make sure it complements your outdoor environment. Several important design considerations include:
Ensuring Structural Integrity
The unique curved shape and intricate designs requires a thorough assessment of the structural support to ensure stability and safety, especially when accommodating heavy furniture, a hot tub, or high foot traffic.
Emphasizing Visual Appeal
Your design should complement the natural flow and landscape of the outdoor space. Attention to detail will create seamless transitions and balanced proportions for a better overall look and feel.
Optimizing Functionality:
When designing this kind of deck, consider things like traffic flow, seating arrangements, and blending with existing landscape.
Understanding The Cost Of Curved Decks
Curved decks are generally more expensive than traditional rectangular decks due to increased complexity in design, construction, and materials.
The unique shape requires precise measurements and skilled labor, leading to higher construction costs. Custom-cut materials and specialized equipment are often needed, resulting in increased waste and material expenses.
Additionally, the structural integrity of curved decks requires extra engineering considerations and investment in stronger materials.
Overall, constructing a curved deck is more costly and time-consuming compared to a traditional rectangular deck of the same size. Custom-ordered curved railings also contribute to longer lead times and higher costs.
Yet, they are stunning and will make a bold statement about you and your home.
