A rooftop deck is an outdoor leisure area situated on the roof of a building. Typically flat, these decks use unused vertical spaces to create a private retreat or entertainment area with potentially spectacular views. Rooftop decks can be outfitted with various features, such as seating areas, plants, outdoor kitchens, and even hot tubs, depending on the strength and capacity of the roof structure. They are trendy in urban environments where ground-level space is limited. Building a rooftop deck involves careful planning to ensure it is structurally sound, accessible, and compliant with local building codes.
