Discover the Perfect Decking Pattern for Your Home: From Classic to Herringbone Styles

At Wasatch Deck & Rail Supply, we know that a deck is more than just a surface—it’s a reflection of your style, a gathering place for friends and family, and a long-term investment in your home. One of the best ways to elevate your deck’s design is by choosing a unique decking pattern that sets your outdoor space apart.

Let’s explore some of the most popular patterns available and how TimberTech composite decking can bring them to life.

Single Width Pattern

This traditional pattern features deck boards laid in parallel, creating clean lines and a timeless look. It’s a versatile choice that complements any architectural style and offers a straightforward installation process.

Best for: Simple, clean designs

TimberTech Picks: Dark Hickory, Slate Gray

Diagonal Pattern

Angling deck boards at 45 degrees adds dynamic energy to your deck design. Diagonal patterns can make smaller spaces appear larger and help with water runoff.

Best for: Medium to large decks, added movement

TimberTech Picks: Coastline, Pecan

Herringbone Pattern

For a truly sophisticated look, the herringbone pattern interlocks boards in a V-shaped design. It draws the eye and creates a sense of elegance and movement—perfect for homeowners wanting to make a bold statement.

Best for: Show-stopping decks, entertainment spaces

TimberTech Picks: English Walnut, Mahogany

Hatch Pattern

Exclusive to experienced deck builders like us at Wasatch Deck & Rail Supply, the Hatch pattern is a unique, grid-like design that resembles intricate tilework. This pattern involves alternating board directions in framed sections, creating a striking and highly customizable look.

Best for: Custom homes, luxury builds, homeowners seeking one-of-a-kind designs

TimberTech Picks: Driftwood, Antique Leather

Picture Frame Pattern

This pattern uses a contrasting board (or the same material) to outline the perimeter of the deck, framing the entire space. It’s a subtle yet effective way to add definition and polish to your design.

Best for: Polished looks, decks with focal points

TimberTech Picks: Brownstone, Cypress

Inlay Designs

For those seeking ultimate customization, inlay designs incorporate shapes, logos, or images into the deck surface. This technique showcases expert craftsmanship and transforms a deck into a true work of art.

Best for: High-end custom homes, branding, unique flair

TimberTech Picks: Varies by design concept

Chevron Pattern

Chevron decks feature V-shaped planks that create a continuous zigzag pattern. Unlike herringbone, where boards meet at a centerline, chevron’s angles align, creating a sleek, dynamic visual that draws the eye. This pattern offers a sophisticated, high-end look that adds depth and dimension to your outdoor space.

Best for: Modern, eye-catching designs, upscale homes

TimberTech Picks: Coastline, Dark Hickory

Pinstripe Pattern

The pinstripe pattern alternates narrow and wide boards to create a subtle striped effect, adding a tailored, refined appearance to the deck surface. It’s perfect for homeowners who appreciate clean lines and understated elegance. This pattern highlights craftsmanship and adds textural contrast without overwhelming the space.

Best for: Contemporary homes, minimalistic designs, subtle texture

TimberTech Picks: Slate Gray, Brownstone

Transition Board

A transition board is a single board that runs perpendicular to the main decking pattern, dividing sections or highlighting design transitions. It’s both functional and stylish, helping to define zones, direct foot traffic, or signal changes in decking orientation. This simple design detail adds polish and intentionality to any deck.

Best for: Large decks, multi-zone layouts, polished looks

TimberTech Picks: Cypress, Mahogany
