6 HAWAII RENOVATION FEBRUARY 20, 2022
Build a comfy outdoor space
>> F R O M P A G E 2
SEATING — 250-PLUS SQUARE FEET
Adding an additional seating area, whether a quiet morning coffee spot or an after-dinner conver- sation pit, will require more space. A conversation area for about six people will add another 256 square feet to the deck. Adding a fire ele- ment to the seating area, will require not only the space for the actual fireplace or fire pit, but also appropri- ate distance between the fire and any seating.
POOL OR HOT TUB — 150- PLUS SQUARE FEET
Homeowners looking to include a water feature like an in-ground pool or hot tub can expect it to require ad- ditional deck space. A four- person hot tub could take up as many as 100 square feet of deck, but Pologruto cautions homeowners to build in plenty of room to walk around, and enter and exit the hot tub, bringing the total to between 150 and 200 square feet.
PARTIES — 15 SQUARE FEET PER PERSON
As a general rule, Po- logruto says homeowners should determine how many people they expect to host on their deck and estimate about 15 square feet of deck per person. To comfortably
fit around 20 people, the deck will need at least 300 square feet of open space.
“Remember though, if you plan to have 50 people over, they won’t all be out on the deck at the same time, so plan for your deck to hold about 30 people,” he says.
CHECK THE COST
With the added square footage comes a big- ger price tag — $25,000- $250,000 depending on the size.
The deck material will also
affect the final cost. Pologru- to uses traditional wood boards and high-end ENVI- SION composite decking by TAMKO Building Products, and says if homeowners are already preparing to spend the money to build a large deck, they should go the extra step and upgrade to a composite board.
“If you’re smart and have the money, do the compos- ite — it just makes more sense,” he says.
Overall, from his experi- ence, Pologruto says most
homeowners don’t need a 3,000-square-foot deck, and should be able to fit a small dining area, arbor, hot tub and a separate seating area in about 750 square feet, although some of the decks he builds are more than twice that size.
Planning to include the right amount of space will leave you with the most comfortable outdoor living area to suit your needs.
