A deck is also able to create space where it otherwise would not exist. If your home is situated on a steep hill, or very uneven terrain, a deck can create space where it otherwise would not have existed. They are also wonderful around pools, Jacuzzis and other similar features. On upper levels, they become wonderful lookout points.
