As you can see in the picture, this tall deck has stairs with relatively easy access and the deck is suspended above a sunken garage.  In this particular home, the garage leads into a fantastic finished basement.  The deck provides easy back door access to the living area, and also provides ample space for a bbq and chairs.  This tall deck idea is not only appealing, it serves a major access function with the parking and back stairs.

Tall deck stairs are generally anchored to the side of a home for more support with massive lag bolts.  This is necessary for lode baring purposes as seen in the picture above.  The lag bolts and pillars provide the needed support for these tall deck stairs.

Tall decks such as the one pictured here are a great addition to any town home or a house with a second story exit door.  Imagine the convenience of having your BBQ right outside your kitchen on a new cedar deck?

Aside from just feeding birds, bird feeder decking ideas also surprise us with visits from some of the rarest bird species in our own home garden. Bird feeders are often equipped with webcams to capture these rare moments. Depending on the species of bird the feeder is for, bird feeders come in different designs and kinds.

A very popular kind of feeder is a seed feeder. These feeders often come with sunflower seeds. Different kinds of seeds are often separated by sections.

On the other hand, you also have hummingbird feeders that have a liquid feed. This is most often a sugary syrup that hummingbirds like. The syrup solution is colored brightly to attract them. However you should be careful when you pick the coloring, as toxic coloring could make the birds sick. Another kind of bird feeder with liquid feed is an oriole feeder. They tend to be orange so take that into consideration when planning out your decking ideas.

Aside from how good the feed is, the effectiveness of a feeder most depends on where it is placed, and how far away it is from bothersome little creatures like cats and squirrels. Squirrels tend to take bird feed and carry it to their homes, wasting your efforts to feed the birds.

Despite all the joys and advantages of bird feeders and what they give to birds as well as us, feeders do have their negative points as well; namely for birds. If you do not maintain clean water and feed you leave the birds at risk to spread diseases when they come in contact with each other. And as one species gets overtaken by disease, another species grows, which leads to an imbalance in ecology.

So if you’ve gotten some decking ideas of installing a bird feeder, go ahead and enjoy the company of our feathered friends. But remember to keep it maintained to look out for them as well.
