A covered deck makes it easy to enjoy your backyard no matter the weather. With the right design, your deck becomes a favorite place for family gatherings or quiet evenings.

  • Protection From Michigan Weather: A solid roof shields your deck from rain, snow, and harsh sun so you can use it more often. Your deck can be fully or partially covered.
  • Comfortable Entertaining Space: Host parties or relax with family without worrying about unexpected storms or blazing heat.
  • Extended Living Area: A covered deck feels like an extra room where you can cook, dine, and unwind year-round.

Precision Decks & Patios offers a variety of covered deck designs to suit every style. From classic looks to contemporary layouts, you can choose a design that complements your Grand Rapids home.

  • Multi-Level Deck Designs: If you choose a multi-level design for your home, then the upper level can serve as a cover for the lower level deck.
  • Gable Roof Designs: These provide a timeless look with vaulted ceilings that make the space feel open and inviting.
  • Modern Flat Roofs: Clean lines and subtle slopes create a sleek design that pairs well with modern homes.
  • Curved Deck Designs With Covers: A curved deck under a custom roof creates a flowing layout that feels both elegant and functional.
  • Pergolas, Traditional and Louvered Roof: Traditional wooden pergolas can provide some protection against the sun. However, to gain greater control, choose a louvered-roof pergola.

Benefits of Choosing Curved Decking for Your Covered Space

Curved decking adds sophistication to any outdoor living area. Combining a covered deck design with curved elements enhances both style and usability.

  • Smooth Transitions: Curved edges create natural pathways and make your deck feel more connected to your yard.
  • Striking Visual Appeal: A curved deck catches the eye and sets your home apart from more traditional designs.
  • Ideal for Defined Zones: Use curves to separate dining, lounging, and cooking areas under your covered deck.

Choosing the right materials ensures your deck stays beautiful and functional for years. Precision Decks & Patios specializes in top-tier products that perform well in Grand Rapids weather.

  • Trex Composite Decking: Durable and low-maintenance, Trex is perfect for covered deck designs that need to withstand humidity and temperature swings.
  • TimberTech Composite Decking: With rich colors and natural wood textures, TimberTech composite is a favorite for covered decks and curved decking.
  • TimberTech/AZEK Advanced PVC Decking: This advanced PVC material offers superior resistance to moisture, making it ideal for Grand Rapids homes.

  • Ipe Hardwood: Known for exceptional strength and resistance to decay, ipe offers a high-end look that can handle Michigan’s climate.
  • Pressure-Treated Wood: A cost-effective option that can be stained or painted, though it needs ongoing maintenance to protect against moisture and insects.

Functional Features to Add Under Your Covered Deck

A covered deck design creates opportunities to add features that make outdoor living more enjoyable.

  • Outdoor Kitchens and Dining Spaces: Prepare meals and dine comfortably without worrying about the weather.
