Anything other than the actual deck and handrail can be considered an accessory. We even consider stairs an accessory because they can vary in number, width, size and shape. Furthermore, itemizing the stairs in this way keeps the pricing fair as opposed to assigning them a square-foot price.

Custom Deckworks offers many built-in additions to our decks that can't be found anywhere else. Check out the examples below in our accessories list or you can click to see them here.

• Bench Set: Two benches with angled backs set on a 90 degree corner of a deck separated by a table in the corner. Our most popular accessory.
  
  
• Wrapped Bench: A bench with a back that follows the deck angles. These definitely take a very skilled carpenter to create. We haven't even seen attempted copies of these in Arkansas.
  
  
• Tables: Corner tables, grill tables. These tables attach to the handrail and seem to "hover" without legs. Tough enough to sit on.
  
  
• Planter Boxes: These can be any size or shape. They can be sunken into the deck or steps or be built to be mobile. Planters usually work best on a deck that's low to the ground due to drainage. We install thick plastic sheeting on the inside to keep moisture away from the wood and to keep dirt from washing out onto the deck.
  
  
• Ottoman (Footstool): The perfect accessory for our bench sets!
  We keep the size a standard 17" x 19" so that it doesn't take up too much space, and yet two people can comfortably rest their feet on it at the same time. The height is the same height as the seat of the benches. The top can be covered in a number of different color, weather resistant, vinyl fabrics and lifts to reveal a storage area. Four casters help it easily roll for mobility.
  
  
• Handrail Planters: Simple, inexpensive and stylish boxes built to mount to the outside of the handrail. Used for small flowers and can be moved to most any handrail location without unsightly brackets over the top-cap of the rail.
  
  
• Garden Benches: Benches without backs typically built where the deck is less than 30 inches off the ground. These can follow any angles and turns the deck may have.
  
  
• Trap doors: A section of the deck floor that removes to access any utilities or controls that may be under the floor level. We build these to be as "unobvious" as possible and offer several different ways to remove them by recessing the handle or grab point.
  
  
• Lattice Panels: The operative word being "panel". Lattice installed any other way will not last long.
  
  
• Skirting: Very solid vertical underpinning. The way we install skirting really makes a quality, finished look to a deck. We always include an access point with hinges and double latches to help prevent warping.
  
  
• Also: Trellis’, Arbors, Roofs (any style), hammock supports, porch swing supports, Hot-tub support (on deck or sunken) and much more.
  

Custom Deckworks will also build any other built-in accessory you may have in mind as long as it can be done with our same quality and integrity. We also offer the installation of outdoor, low-voltage lighting on our decks. We can help you decide how much lighting you need. There are so many different types of lights on the market today that we suggest you purchase what you want and we can install it.
