Decks and patios have long been a staple of American homes. However, they have truly only come into their own in the last decade or so. When they were first beginning to be built in the 1970s on homes, they were small, rectangular shapes that measured only about 8 by 10 feet. That's tiny compared to the massive decks that are quite common today. This small space only allowed for limited extra functionality, such as for a grill to have a place to sit. Decks were almost always built out of hardwood, which varied depending on the part of the country you lived in.
