Best Deck Additions

With Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence, you can deck out your deck in style.

Your backyard deck doesn’t have to be one blank slate. Sure, there is nothing wrong with keeping it simple, but in some circumstances you will want to have additions to make your outdoor living space all the more enjoyable and welcoming. If you are planning to have a new backyard deck, check out the best deck additions you might want to include in the design.

Shade

Shade is all-important. Direct sunlight can take its toll on someone, even if the weather is cooler than not. One has various options for creating shade on deck, including pergolas, pagodas, gazebos, and canopies. Each has its advantages. You can have the best of both worlds and add a shade structure to one side of the deck, leaving the other side open to full sunlight.

Lighting

Deck lighting is essential for creating safe paths at night and outlining the different outdoor living spaces on the deck. One can build lights into the structure through stair lights, fence cap lights, or sconces attached to the house or shade structure. String lights add a whimsical ambience. If you plan on enjoying your deck in the evenings, deck lighting will prove invaluable.

Privacy

In some cases, you may find that your deck lacks privacy from neighbors or the road. To mend this issue, one can attach a lattice, a privacy fence, or planters to the appropriate railing. Even so, having a screened porch or screened gazebo on one side of the deck can also give privacy. 

Built-Ins

Built-in deck features add a sense of sturdiness and permanence to your backyard deck. You won’t have to worry about items flying away or toppling over in a storm, and you won’t have to hoist anything on and off of it during a deck cleaning. Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence, located in Gambrills, MD, offers deck additions like built-in planters and seating. They even offer storage benches, in which you can keep your grilling tools and outdoor blankets.

Furnishings

Lastly, you can complete the scene with some outstanding furnishings. Besides outdoor furniture, fire pits and grills are common backyard deck additions in Maryland. For an extra touch of luxury, you can also have your own hot tub.
