Minimal Deck Renovation Ideas

A backyard deck is the bridge between your back door and your backyard. It can be much more than just a pathway, though. A backyard deck can be a pleasant spot where you can enjoy your morning cup of coffee or tea, gather together for a meal, play a card game, etc. If you already have a backyard deck and would like to spruce it up just enough for it to feel like new, consider these minimal deck renovation ideas.

Maintaining the Deck

Are parts of your deck looking a little worse for wear? Are the deck boards curling up off the deck’s supporting structure, or the railings getting wobbly? The first course of action is to check that all parts of your deck are sound. Addressing fundamental repairs is the first step.

Installing Low-Maintenance Railings

If you currently have natural wood railings but would like to change up the look and feel of your deck, consider replacing old, worn-out deck railings with low-maintenance deck railings. They will be more expensive upfront, but they will require less care than wood ones.

Adding Deck Lights

Is your backyard deck plain, with the only light the backyard floodlight? Depending on the deck, the floodlight may be sufficient. However, you can elevate your outdoor living space by installing deck lights. They can be permanent, built-in fixtures or removable solar ones.

Adding A Privacy Screen

Does your backyard lack privacy? If you are close to neighbors or a busy road, then a privacy screen for your backyard deck can be a great idea, as can a privacy fence. Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence can help you devise the perfect deck privacy screen for your home in central Maryland.

Adding an Arbor or Trellis

An arbor, trellis, pergola, or shade structure of a minimalistic nature will provide sufficient shade and some level of privacy, depending on the structure. It can be an excellent opportunity to create architectural interest or a climbing garden on your deck.
