Tips for a Great Deck Party

One of the major reasons homeowners opt for deck installations on their property is for the entertainment factor. Such an inviting outdoor space is great for gatherings like barbecues and parties, but in order to make such a gathering the best it can be, there are a few tips you'll want to keep in mind.

Make the space even more inviting. Arrange tables and chairs so that they're more likely to be used by people who are engaging in conversation. Try to keep them out of the way, though, so people don't feel crammed together.

Get your landscape into shape. Do you want to impress with your deck, only to turn people off when they see your unmaintained lawn? Mow, trim, and clean up any debris laying around the yard.

Protect your guests. Mosquitoes and other bugs can be quite the nuisance during a deck party. Be sure to keep bug spray, citronella candles, or other repellant items around for guest use.

Let tunes set the mood. Have some kind of stereo, CD, or MP3 player out on your deck to provide music. This keeps things from getting awkwardly silent, provides some party background music, and gives your guests a reason to dance.

Deck Decor

Warm weather will soon be upon us, and you'll finally be able to get outside and enjoy your deck again. One thing you can start thinking about in the meantime is how you're going to decorate your deck in the new year. Will you keep the same outdoor furniture and setup, or will you try something new?

One thing we suggest doing is picking up a bunch of magazines for interior design and outdoor living spaces. Designing an outdoor living space using many of the same philosophies as designing an indoor space, and seeing other people's ideas might inspire you, and maybe even help you come up with some ideas of your own.

Also, be sure to take a drive and check out (from afar, of course) some of the decks in your neighborhood and how they're designed and laid out. Seeing them in person might be more helpful to you than looking at magazine photos.

When you've nailed down what you're going to buy and where everything will be placed, it's time to get to work! One important thing: if you're creating an outdoor dining area with a grill, be sure to place the dining table away from the grill so smoke doesn't blow into the faces of your family or your guests.

The Importance of Beauty and Design

When constructing decks, sunrooms, porches, and other home additions, a lot of emphasis is placed on the quality of the work, and rightfully so. Craftsmanship should be of the utmost importance. Your new addition should be solid, built with quality wood and parts so it can withstand the test of time.

But what about looks?

Looks are equally important in the grand scheme of things. After all, one might want a safe, sturdy deck, but that same person probably wants the deck to be beautiful, as well. This is where Paradise Decking really shines. The company is owned by a husband and wife team, and both hold Art Degrees. They place as much importance in the looks and the design of your addition as they do the build quality, while making sure the addition is outstanding in both categories.

Sunrooms: Outdoor Enjoyment Without the Outdoors

Sunrooms are enclosed rooms that, in most cases, bring the outdoors inside using large windows and windowed doors. Aside from the ceiling and the portion of the room connected to the home itself, the presence of solid walls is very minimal.

Paradise Decking specializes in the construction of sunrooms, both as an addition to the home and as a separate standing entity. We've been building for over 35 years, and have left many satisfied customers in the Greensboro and Winston Salem areas of North Carolina. We'd love to add you to the list!

For Your Deck, Looks Are Important

When you make the decision to add a deck to your home, you probably want something that is study, high-quality, and last but not least, beautiful. Unfortunately, some deck construction companies are skilled at putting up a deck, but they're not skilled at making it look good.

That's one way Paradise Decking differs from the rest.

The two owners of Paradise Decking both hold Art degrees. They place an importance on the visual appearance of your deck that is passed over by many other builders. Your deck should not just be an addition to your home -- it should be an extension of it, and no company can pull it off like Paradise Decking.

Winter Deck Enjoyment

With the official start of Winter coming up soon, you might be lamenting the fact that you won't be able to use your deck as much. Sitting out on the deck can be quite a relaxing activity, and provides you with a way to surround yourself with the outdoors as you take in a good book, or listen to some music.

Fortunately, there is a way for you to continue enjoying your deck well into the winter months -- by building an enclosed deck. An enclosed deck can provide you with large windows, mimicking the effect of sitting outdoors while still being able to control the temperature of the space. You'll still get the look and feel of being outdoors in the warmer seasons, without the chill of actually sitting in the winter air.
