Creating a Comfortable Outdoor Living Space

With a few additions, design and decoration changes to your backyard, you can create an outdoor living space where you will want to spend all of your free time. Whether you install an arbor or new decking, the design features you choose can transform your yard from an unused space into a comfortable, functional and stylish outdoor living room. Here are a few tips to help you get started on transforming your backyard.  

• Perfect the Perimeter: Before you begin shopping for outdoor furniture, lay the foundation for a comfortable and functional outdoor area. Installing vinyl fencing can help you separate your property from neighbors and enhance your privacy in an attractive and practical way. Or, use Trex decking to create a distinct space for grilling, gathering, and conversation; its durability and different style options make it the choice of many homeowners.
• Get Creative: To make your yard feel more inviting and unique, find a way to incorporate your own personality into the space. A gazebo, for example, can be an attractive accent or you can transform it with growing plants and hanging decorations. With an addition like a gazebo, you can throw an outdoor party, host an elegant evening event, or just sit outside and enjoy a beautiful night.
• Start Decorating: Once you have added the structures and main features you want, it’s time for the fun to begin! Decorative pillows add color and comfort to outdoor furniture, while hanging plants and lights dress up your pergola or arbor. Find the accessories that fit your tastes and lifestyle, and start planning your next summer bash!

How Does Vinyl Compare to and Outperform Wood?

Outfitting the exterior of your property with vinyl products can be a great investment in your home’s appearance and value. When you install a vinyl fence, railing or deck, you are installing a long-lasting product that protects your property while remaining impervious to the elements. Unlike wood, vinyl requires little regular maintenance and is built to withstand a variety of weather conditions. Keep reading to find out how vinyl stacks up against and outperforms the wooden competition.

• No Repainting or Refinishing: Even after years of withstanding harsh weather conditions, your vinyl fence will not need repainting or refinishing to retain its appearance or functionality. Your vinyl fence is designed to hold up against harsh sunlight, wind, snow, rain, hail and other weather hazards. Because vinyl retains a consistent color to its core, scratches and wear are virtually undetectable. Wood products, however, are greatly affected by poor weather conditions. Prolonged exposure to the elements will fade, splinter, and crack wood.
• No Moisture Concerns: Moisture can be one of the greatest enemies of a wood fence but poses no problems for a vinyl fence. One of the few materials that is unaffected by rain, snow or humidity, vinyl weathers wet conditions without threatening its structural integrity. In addition, when you choose vinyl, you will not have to worry about warping, fading, or cracking as you would with wood.
• No Decay or Insect Infiltration: Wood fences are susceptible to rot, decay, and termite infestation. Vinyl, however, remains durable and strong even after years of use. From extreme heat to bitter cold, a vinyl fence remains attractive and decay-free.

Composite Decking by Trex: The Green Alternative to Wood

While it is a classic choice for deck material, wood also requires regular maintenance and consumes considerable natural resources. For the time-pressed and eco-conscious homeowner, it’s possible to build a beautiful deck without sacrificing hour of free time or many trees. Made from 95% recycled materials, Trex decks are designed for comfort and conservation. Talk to your fencing company about Trex decking to learn more about the product, its characteristics and its benefits.

• Made from Recycled Materials: Plastic shopping bags, reclaimed wood, and sawdust are the main materials used to make Trex decking and railing products. Not only are the materials green but the manufacturing process is, too, releasing fewer harmful emissions during production. In fact, using Trex decking products can contribute towards a building’s LEED points, making them a valuable component of green architecture.  
• Built to Last Longer: The recycled grocery bags and stretch film inside Trex deck boards create a barrier to moisture and insects. The reclaimed wood and sawdust protect the plastic from fading under the sun, reducing the need for constant staining or aesthetic maintenance. Unlike wood decks, Trex decks don’t rot, warp, or splinter. They’re also scratch-, mold-, and slip-resistant. With a 25-year Limited Stain and Fade Warranty, Trex decks provide both comfort to your home and confidence in your investment.
• Clean and Green Maintenance: With a Trex deck, no chemical-laden stains or finishes are needed. All that is required to clean a Trex deck is simple soap and water, which means fewer harmful substances will be introduced to the environment or will come in contact with your family.
• Looks like Natural Wood: With a natural grain pattern and many styles to choose from, you can achieve the visual appeal of a wood deck while still doing your part to protect the environment. Trex decking and railing products come in a variety of colors to complement your home’s style, and their attractive wood finish creates an inviting and warm final look.
