During quarantine, many people spent their days cleaning and making improvements to their homes. One area that often goes unnoticed, even amidst a pandemic, is the deck.

Just like the rest of the home, your deck needs some love too! Here are four stunning deck upgrade ideas that can kick your deck up a notch.

Pergola

A pergola is a delicate awning structure with a slatted roof. Though it isn’t the most functional awning, it provides some shade and plenty of room for plants to grow. Not only that, but pergolas are stunning. The best part is that they really aren’t that expensive. With their simple design, you could easily make it yourself. All a pergola will need is some wood and outdoor safe stain. From there, you can decorate it with vined plants – a gardener’s dream!

Deck Cover

A deck cover is a permanent awning structure that attaches to your home. This makes it a great option if you love to sit outside, rain or shine. Since deck covers are permanent fixtures with a complete roof, you can even attach lighting, fand, heating, or other fixtures to it. This makes it a great option if you like sitting outside in style. Those who love to throw outdoor parties may prefer this option.

Of course, deck covers are a big expense and require renovation of your home. To spend your money wisely, select an installer like City Seamless Patio Covers to get the job done. This installer ensures that the deck cover is durable and installed correctly, making sure you get your money’s worth.

Paint the Floor

For those who already have awnings or shading, you could also consider painting your floor. If you have wood, then opting for a fresh coat of stain can be a great option to protect the longevity of your deck and make it look fresher. You don’t have to stop there, though. To modernize your deck, you can even take the time to use an outdoor paint to create designs on your deck floor. Bring out the inside to the outside by painting a super cool checkerboard on the floor. This will make your deck pop and it won’t cost that much either.

Privacy Green Wall

If you need some extra privacy, add a privacy green wall. A privacy green wall will use some sort of lattice so that vines can grow up the structure. As the vines surround the lattice, it creates a wall that your neighbors can’t see through. Obviously, privacy green walls are a great idea because they protect your deck’s privacy, but they are also exquisite and attract wildlife. This makes it the best of both worlds since it merges functionality with aesthetics.

Conclusion
By simply adding a single new item to your deck, you can reinvigorate your entire backyard. Something as simple as adding a privacy green wall or pergola can awaken your yard and make your deck the talk of the town, or the street at least.
