Our Range Of Deck Styles

Decks aren’t just about height or shape—they’re built to serve specific needs, whether it’s enhancing views, maintaining green space, or adding privacy. At CHS Custom Decks & Design, we offer a variety of deck styles for homes and businesses in Twin City Metro Area, MN, from ground-level platforms to rooftop and wraparound decks. Whatever your goals, we’ll help you choose a design that fits your property and lifestyle.

Platform Deck

Positioned close to the ground, platform decks offer simplicity and ease of access, often harmonizing well with single-level homes or gentle landscapes.

Raised Deck

Elevating the deck above grade allows for expanded views and under-deck storage, making it ideal for sloped terrain or walkout basements.

Multi-Level Deck

These complex structures create distinct zones—dining, lounging, or grilling—each tailored to specific activities or vantage points.

Freestanding Deck

Unattached to the primary structure, freestanding decks offer flexible placement and are frequently used to frame features like gardens or pools.

Rooftop Deck

Maximizing vertical space in urban environments, rooftop decks offer panoramic views and often incorporate green space or privacy elements.

Pool Deck

Built to resist moisture and support high traffic, pool decks integrate safety considerations while maintaining visual cohesion with surrounding landscaping.

Curved Deck

Requiring advanced framing techniques, curved decks provide a fluid, organic aesthetic, often used to soften geometric architecture or follow natural contours.

Cantilevered Deck

Projecting outward without visible support beneath, these decks introduce a sense of suspension and spatial drama, especially when combined with modern rail systems.

Screened Porch or Deck

Combining openness with protection, screened areas shield occupants from insects and debris while preserving light and airflow.

Covered Deck

With partial or full roofing, these decks extend seasonal usability and protect furnishings from weather exposure.

Privacy Screens

Whether integrated into the railing or designed as standalone structures, these features provide visual separation from neighbors without sacrificing style.
