The best decks in America are ready for summer

Some of the best decks in America come with pools, colored lights, staircases and, in some cases, even several floors.

Earlier this spring, the North American Deck And Railing Association announced the winners of its annual contest to find the best decks in the country. In its eleventh year, the 2020 North American Deck Competition recognized both individuals and companies that created decks across different price points and categories — from a $25,000 wooden deck to the best use of illumination to enclosed porches that double as outdoor living rooms.

As seen in the pictures, some of the best decks feature creative inlaid designs, used alternative materials and took advantage of the home’s architecture in order to maximize both views and outdoor space.
