We’ve put together a list of 10 things you can do to bring your Broward County deck alive this year.

1. Consider Adding a Hot Tub or Pool to Your Deck

Make the most of your backyard space. No yard? No worries! No matter how big or small your yard is, you can upgrade your current deck to accommodate a hot tub, turning it into a major attraction and a brand new living area.

2. Bring Some Color to Your Wood Deck

Wood might not always be the top pick for deck materials. But if you have an older deck, why not give it a fresh coat of paint? A new color can really make it stand out and add some warmth in just a few hours.

3. Enhance the Deck Views

Got a deck in Broward County? Think about adding seating and tables that frame the view, so you can enjoy stunning sunsets, snow-capped mountains, or even the skyline along the New River.

4. Build a Roof or Overhang

Consider adding a structure to create a cozy sitting area that’s sheltered. Small roofs and pergolas can provide shade and add visual interest to your existing deck.

5. Move the Inside Outside

No one enjoys sitting on a hard, uncomfortable wood bench or railing. Think about bringing the comfort of indoors outside with cozy seating, benches, super comfy pillows and blankets, and outdoor rugs.

6. Install a Hammock or Swing
Add a playful vibe to your relaxation time. You can easily set up a hammock or a porch-style swing and let the hours drift by as you unwind.

7. Enhance Your View with New Deck Railings
Upgrade your railings to enhance your views. Think about switching to different railing styles to ensure that your views of the yard or dock remain unobstructed. Check out railing options featuring slim balusters, wire, or glass panels.

8. Set Up an Outdoor Fire Pit
There’s nothing quite like gathering around an outdoor fire at night with friends and family. As the sun sets, create a warm and inviting deck area by adding a fire pit. Throw in some seating, cushions, and a blanket, and you might never want to go back inside.

9. Deck Lighting
Incorporate deck lighting on steps, balusters, and railings to allow for more time spent enjoying your deck in a beautifully lit and welcoming atmosphere.

10. Include Built-in Benches
If you want to avoid the hassle of moving chairs around, think about adding a bench that provides structure and seating along the edges of the deck.
