2. Where To Put Your Seating Area (Image 2 of 7)

Creating a deck with built-in seating like this one really commits you to sitting there come cloud or shine - so choose the position carefully. Privacy is important, but so is the amount of shade and sunlight you'll get. Sadly, in this country, you can't guarantee you'll be warm if you sit in the shade to eat, although this is generally preferable when you're dining. So, if you place yours in a sunny spot, invest in a large parasol to protect your friends (or children) who'd rather be in the shade - or plant something that will give you natural, if dappled shade.
