10 Creative Ways To Enjoy Your Deck During Winter

Winter doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to your backyard. You can transform your deck into a welcoming space year-round with a new pergola, fire pit, lighting, and more. At Deck Plus, we install deck upgrades that you’ll enjoy for years. Here are 10 ways to make your backyard more enjoyable even as the temperatures drop in Charlotte.

1. Add a Fire Pit or Outdoor Heater

Warmth is vital to enjoying your deck in the colder months. Consider adding a fire pit or an outdoor heater to create a cozy gathering spot. Deck Plus can install fire pit features that are both stylish and functional, ensuring you stay warm while enjoying the outdoors.

2. Install a Pergola With Weatherproof Curtains

A pergola can transform your deck into a winter retreat. Adding weatherproof curtains creates a barrier against the wind and cold. Deck Plus offers custom pergola installations that blend beauty and function, providing a versatile outdoor living space.

3. Invest in Cozy Outdoor Furniture

Comfort is essential during winter; cozy outdoor furniture makes your deck more inviting. Choose durable furniture with plush cushions that can withstand the elements. Incorporate blankets and throws for extra warmth. Our team at Deck Plus can help design a layout that maximizes comfort and style.

4. Create an Outdoor Dining Area

Don’t let the winter weather stop you from dining outdoors. You can enjoy holiday meals or casual gatherings on your deck with the proper setup. Deck Plus offers design services to create the perfect outdoor dining space, with heating options and weather-resistant furniture.

5. Add Lighting for Ambiance

Winter days are shorter, but that doesn’t mean you have to head inside once the sun goes down. Installing soft, ambient lighting can create a magical atmosphere on your deck. Deck Plus can help with professional lighting installation that enhances the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space.

6. Install a Hot Tub

Imagine relaxing in a warm hot tub on a chilly winter evening. A hot tub can turn your deck into a year-round oasis. Deck Plus provides custom deck designs that accommodate hot tubs, ensuring a seamless blend between your deck and spa area.

7. Use All-Weather Rugs & Textiles

Add warmth and comfort underfoot with all-weather rugs. These textiles are designed to withstand moisture while adding a pop of color and texture to your deck. Deck Plus can help you choose the best accessories that complement your deck’s design and withstand winter conditions.

8. Enclose Your Patio or Create a Three-Season Room

Deck Plus offers custom three-season porches that extend your outdoor living from spring through fall. Featuring weatherproof windows and durable flooring, these porches protect from the elements while letting you enjoy natural light. With personalized designs, Deck Plus creates comfortable, stylish spaces tailored to your home and lifestyle.

For those who love cooking outdoors, a covered outdoor kitchen is a perfect addition to your deck. With Deck Plus’s custom design services, you can create a fully functional kitchen space that includes weatherproof features and heating elements so you can grill even in the winter.
