Types of Outdoor Living Spaces

Adding or remodeling outdoor living spaces can have several benefits like enhanced property value, increased living space for relaxation, and improved health and well-being as spending time outdoors can improve your mood and reduce stress levels.

Our Structural Engineers can perform load calculations, create structural plans and permit sets for Outdoor Living Spaces like Decks, Patios (typically attached to the house), and Porches, Pergolas and Gazebos.

Popular Outdoor Structure Types:

Decks
A Deck is a raised platform for outdoor living and dining and can be attached to a home or freestanding to be used for various activities. It is typically made of wood or composite materials and can come in various sizes and shapes.
Patio
Patio is a ground-level outdoor space that can be made of various materials such as concrete, pavers, or natural stone. It is usually designed to be used for outdoor activities like dining, entertaining, and relaxation. Patio too can be built in different shapes and sizes to accommodate different needs and preferences.
Porch
Porch is a covered area at the entrance of a house. It is designed to provide additional living space and can be used for various purposes, such as socializing, reading, or relaxation. A porch can be enclosed or open-air and can be built in different styles and sizes to match the architecture of your home.
Pergola & Gazebo
A pergola is an outdoor structure featuring an open framework, with vertical posts or columns supporting cross-beams and an open lattice or grid roof. It offers partial shade and adds aesthetic appeal to gardens or outdoor spaces. Gazebos, with fully enclosed roofs and open sides, provide sheltered areas for relaxation and enjoyment.
