Get Your Custom Deck Winter-Ready

Tis the season for colder temperatures! With winter right around the corner, you might be thinking about your custom decks and how to make sure it’s ready for the chilly temps and precipitation. Here are a few tips on how to make sure your custom decks in Winston Salem are ready for the upcoming cold season.

Prepare Your Deck Furniture
Take all of the cushions and padding off of your deck furniture and store it inside your home or garage. Then take your hose or power washer and spray down your custom deck furniture. Give it a quick clean-up and then cover it with a waterproof cover. Don’t neglect your grill either. Give it a wipe-down, cover it and set it near your home so it gets some protection from the wind and other outdoor elements.

Store Other Items
Do you have any planters on your custom decks? Or maybe some wind chimes or other decorations? Take all of them down and store them in your home or garage. That way, you know they are safely tucked away so you can enjoy them again this spring. Your planters will be all ready for you when the temperatures finally start to warm up again!

Clean Your Custom Decks
Take some time to sweep your custom decks. Clear leaves, twigs and other debris off of it. Make sure you do this a few times throughout the winter months to help it stay clean. This is also a good time to make sure there is no damage to your deck. The sooner you catch any damage done to your custom deck, the sooner you can get it repaired.
