Some people
think that they have all their bases covered if they add a deck on the back of
their house. “Now I can spend every day
outside,” they mistakenly think. With
our more days of sunshine per year here in Colorado vs other states you may
think that this is okay. But you will
soon find that there are many days that it is too uncomfortable or that the
weather is too uncooperative to make this possible. So now you have spent a lot of money on an
“awesome” deck that you can’t use as often as you would like because it is too
exposed. But be careful you do not go to
the other extreme and provide permanent coverage over your entire deck.
The prefect
outdoor living space will have both covered and uncovered areas. There may be times you want to sit in your
deck chair while gazing at a clear summer night sky. Or you may want to spend that rainy afternoon
enjoying the cool breezes and tranquil sounds of rain splashing on the ground
while reading your favorite novel. (FYI
– this cannot be done without some kind of coverage). If space is limited some have found that
retractable awnings provide a viable solution.
Whatever
your need or space requirements providing covered and exposed areas will give
you year round enjoyment.
