Decks

decks beside the ocean
A deck is that part of the ship where there is a covering or ceiling above a compartment or room. Decks are usually the highest platforms in a ship, they are also mostly made of fine wood. Decks can’t only be built on boats or ships, they can also be built-in personal homes; they are usually flat platforms attached beside the home to provide extra room for occupants. These platforms are usually elevated from the ground and can serve different purposes like being an outdoor patio. Sarasota Seawalls are experts are deck construction. We have the experience and skill to construct a well-finished deck for you. We specialize in giving a ship the beauty they deserve by constructing the best and most durable decks available in the market. Here are some deck types available. 
 
Poop Deck
This deck is a small area meant for vessel commanders to monitor and observe navigations and make directional changes when necessary. Poop decks are usually located at the rear end of the vessel, mostly used as the roof of a cabin. This part of the vessel gives superior ship crew the space to properly navigate through the sea. This relatively small deck is built with proper attention to detail in order to avoid damages that could cause serious problems in motion. 
 
Main Deck
The main deck is the primary and usually the most important deck in the vessel. These decks usually serve as the main roof to almost every cabin in the ship. It spans throughout the entire vessel and below and above, we may have other supplementary or smaller decks. It could also be considered as a structural beam holding the dorsal part of the ship together. However, you shouldn't get confused, this deck is not the highest or topmost deck on the vessel. It just happens to be the central, most important deck in the vessel.
 
Upper And Lower Deck
As the name suggests, upper decks are located at the topmost part of the ship. They are the “floors” at the top of the ship and they are usually the widest. Upper decks span from the fore down to the rear part of the vessel and are made with really strong and polished wood; this is important as this part of the ship could be exposed to weather elements. Lower decks are usually below the main decks in a vessel. They are made to serve as supplementary decks to the main deck, usually put above cabins and rooms. In vessels, lower decks are usually more than one; depending on how big the vessel is, they could be between three and ten. 
 
Bridge Deck
This part of the vessel is where the navigation gadgets are kept. Commanders and high ranked navigation officers route and re-route the vessel when necessary. This decking is similar to a cockpit in an airplane, this is where communications, sailing, and navigation takes place. Bridge decks are usually small and built with a transparent windshield where the sailors can see through.
