Nothing is more enjoyable than relaxing on your deck on a sunny day. If you’ve been thinking about adding one of these structures to your property, there are a variety of beneficial features to elevate their designs. Here are several to consider.

Features That Can Boost Your Deck’s Appearance

1. Exquisite Lighting

Illuminate your deck at night with strategically-placed lighting. You can have fixtures installed directly into the wood planks for a stunning effect. Other design options include lamp posts with dimmers and track lighting for creating an intimate ambiance.

2. Fire Pit

On chilly evenings, gather your friends together around a warm and welcoming fire pit. There are a range of style options available to complement your deck’s aesthetic. Before having one installed, be sure to consult with a home remodeling specialist about building code requirements, such as how far the fire pit must be from the house.

3. Trees & Greenery

As you and your designer sketch out deck configurations, consider including space to incorporate trees, shrubs and other greenery. Custom-shaped cutouts should provide the dimensions for allowing the landscaping to grow without obstructions.

4. Awnings

These structures are ideal for shielding you and your guests from harsh UV rays, wind, and light rain. Whether you go with stationary or retractable, awnings provide the right amount of cover when you want it. The shade also helps protect outside furniture from fading and other weather-related damage.
