Wire for Sound
A weatherproof outdoor sound system is a soothing finishing touch for any deck.
Furnish and Forget It
Consider all of your furniture options: hardy wood such as teak, aluminum, steel, and recycled plastics. An outdoor rug completes the scene.
Spring for Upgrades
Replace wooden rail spindles with wrought-iron ones and the deck boards with rot-resistant composite planks.
Make a Splash
Dedicate a corner or add on to the deck to accommodate a hot tub.
Polish the Edges
Add skirt boards or trellis material around your deck perimeter between its surface and the ground. This lends a finished look to the project and can let the space below the deck serve as handy storage.
