Is your backyard deck ready for a new spring? These tips can help you prepare.
It’s six weeks before spring, and there’s no better time to look forward to a brand new season. It will soon be time to throw open the windows and get out on the deck to enjoy the fresh spring breeze and sunshine again. To make the best of your backyard deck days, you will need to put a little elbow grease and forethought into the setup. Below are several steps to take for preparing your deck for spring!
Clean It Well
The first step is to clean your deck well. Whether it is a wood, composite, or vinyl deck, a pressure washer can save you valuable time and energy in getting the toughest dirt and grime off your deck. One should make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning your deck material with the right cleaning solution.
Make Repairs
Should your deck need repairs, such as replacing a warped board or two or securing the deck railing, it is best to take care of these issues as soon as possible. If the problem poses a safety hazard, inform your family and any guests to keep off the structure until repairs are made. Should you prefer a deck company to make repairs rather than do it yourself, Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence would be happy to be of service.
Clean Deck Furnishings
Next, it’s time to bring out your deck furnishings. These items include furniture like a dining or lounge set, the grill, and your flower pots. Make sure these items are free from grime, mold, and moisture, especially your outdoor cushions and pillows. Putting them through the wash and sunning them are good ways to kill the germs off of them.
Make Plans
Perhaps you’ve noticed a problem or two with your deck in previous years. It might be that you can’t enjoy the deck after dark due to poor lighting, or you wish you had a little more shade. Maybe you just want something new. Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence offers a plethora of decking additions including deck lighting, pergolas, screened porches, built-in planters and speakers, and even hot tubs. If you want to turn your backyard deck into a tranquil getaway or a party central, Mid-Atlantic is well-equipped to make it happen.
