Maximize the space under your composite deck
In Quebec, every square meter counts, especially when it comes to a composite deck in Quebec. The often-neglected space under your structure can become a major asset for your outdoor living area. Magasin de Patio, an expert in Fiberon, TimberTech, Trex, and TruNorth solutions, presents eight ideas to revolutionize this hidden space.
Why choose a composite deck?
- Durability: Fiberon, TimberTech, Trex, and TruNorth boards resist humidity, frost, and UV rays from the Canadian climate.
- Minimal maintenance: A simple wash with water is enough, no sanding or annual chemical treatment required.
- Aesthetics: Varied finishes, realistic textures, and original colors like Lava Rock or Cabin Brown.
- Eco-friendly: Often made from recycled plastic and certified wood fibers.
1. Create a discreet storage space
Installing composite Trex or Fiberon lattice or skirting panels allows you to hide a practical compartment for cushions, children's toys, or the lawnmower. A small access demonstrates the perfect combination of functionality and design.
2. Set up a sheltered dining area
Enjoy a sheltered area to install a table, chairs, and a barbecue. Under your deck, your outdoor meals remain protected from showers thanks to the natural cover provided by the deck.
3. Integrate a shaded garden
Shade-tolerant plants like hostas, ferns, and heucheras thrive under your TimberTech deck. Create an herb garden (mint, parsley, cilantro) for a useful and decorative garden.
4. Install a relaxation or spa area
Under your TruNorth composite deck, install a spa or a lounge area. The privacy and protection from the rain make it a privileged relaxation space, perfect for unwinding in all seasons.
5. Design a play area for children
Hang swings, attach climbing ropes, and add a sandbox. The underside of your deck becomes a safe play area, sheltered from the sun and rain.
6. Set up a workshop or tool shed
For DIY enthusiasts, this location is perfect for storing tools, a workbench, and garden accessories. A Fiberon composite shed protects your equipment from frost and humidity.
7. Create an outdoor gym
Install mats, dumbbells, and light equipment under your Trex deck. You'll benefit from a ventilated, cool space separate from your home for your workout sessions.
8. Convert to a sunroom or glassed-in lounge
Enclose the space with bay windows to create another living room for year-round use. A cozy lounge, heated solarium, or summer office blend perfectly with your composite deck boards.
"Developing the space under a composite deck means doubling the usable area of your home while enhancing its exterior design." - Marie Tremblay, Designer at Magasin de Patio
