4 Easy Weekend Updates for Your Deck

Posted 4 June 2020 1:08 PM by Jase DeBoer

Your deck is an extension of your home, creating additional living space that allows you to enjoy the outdoors. It is the perfect time of year to give your backyard a refresh with some easy-to-add deck accessories.

Lattice 
A simple and effective way to add a fresh look to your outdoor space is to conceal your deck under-structure by adding a lattice deck skirt. Or if you’re looking to add some seclusion to your outdoor space, you could also create a privacy wall using lattice panels. This is a great way to define your outdoor space in a new way.

Balusters
Adding a new baluster style to your railing is a affordable and easy way to give your deck a refresh. There are many baluster materials to choose from – powder-coated aluminum to glass options. Not only are there many material options, balusters come in a range of sizes, colors and finishes to create whatever outdoor style you are looking for.

Lighting
Add some nighttime ambiance to your deck and stairs with outdoor lighting. Solar or low-voltage post caps are a terrific addition to any deck or porch. Not only do they add a fresh look to your deck or porch space, but they are also a practical safety feature so you can enjoy your deck into the evening hours. String lights are another easy way to add illumination and enjoy your outdoor living area at night.

Post Caps
If you’re looking for a quick project that will give your outdoor space a whole new look, adding decorative post caps may be the project for you. We offer many styles of post caps to suit virtually every taste and match any décor. Post caps are easy to install, even for do-it-yourselfers. Post caps allow you to add your personal style to your deck, and they also serve the purpose of protecting your post from the elements.

You can easily incorporate some or all of these easy updates to your outdoor living space, tackling them one by one on the weekends.
