2. High-Tech Decks

There have been advancements in both equipment and outdoor storage that has made video and TV viewing outside easier than ever! Many electronic manufacturers have risen to the occasion and jumped upon the latest outdoor living trends and are now offering TVs and other entertainment equipment specifically designed for outdoor living spaces. They have designed these equipment taking into account the differences in lighting and outdoor acoustics.

1. Leisure Over Labor

Homeowners are spending more and more time in their outdoor living spaces and on their decks but we have found that this does not mean that they want to spend more time taking care of their deck. Most homeowners’ desire for functionality and comfort extends to the decking material itself. Wood-plastic composites such as Trex is a great option to build your deck with as is resists fading, staining, scratching, mold, and won’t rot. There is no need for staining, sanding, or painting. Food and drink spills are easily washed off with soap and water. Trex decking is also made from 95 percent recycled materials, which makes it environmentally friendly.

If you choose Trex to build your deck with you will be able to choose from many high-definition wood grain pattern and rich colors which look and feel more natural than ever. When you take into account both the beauty and long-term benefits of composite decking the choice is clear.

4. Double-Duty Railing

Your deck railing if done provides a much needed safety feature but also adds beauty to your deck. Today we are here to tell you that railings also provide a much more social function. You could call them ‘cocktail rails’, railings can provide a large flat surface for you and your guests to set drinks, snacks, or anything else you would set on a cocktail table. To create this functional feature you can use a matching deck board to create a shelf for the top rail. This will perfectly compliment your deck and make a great use of space. You can even use the space to display decorative pieces such as planters.

We have tons of experience as one of Sacramento’s top decking companies and would be happy to help you create a ‘cocktail rail’ in your backyard space.

We have found that our customers are often surprised by the different and unique options available for their lighting needs. We generally like to advise our clients to stay away from just using corner spotlights to light their outdoor living spaces. We instead suggest installing a variety of landscape and deck lighting features. This can include well lights to illuminate foliage and small structures, riser lights incorporated into deck stairs, recessed deck lights – inserted directly into deck boards – for subtle dots of light to accent the deck’s design, and path lights to brighten walkways.

Combining deck lighting with landscape lighting features will create a variety of ambiances that can be switched up for any occasion. You will be able to choose which outdoor element to highlight and it will be very easy to change the total look of your deck and outdoor living space without moving things around.
