If you’re looking for some backyard deck upgrade inspiration, we have a few great options for you. To learn how to optimize your enjoyment and make the most out of this traditional backyard staple, keep reading.

Here are eight cool backyard deck upgrades to consider.

Addition, Addition, Addition

If you have space and your deck is in good condition, why not build an addition? This is a great way to maximize your outdoor space, giving your family and friends more room to roam. A gazebo could be a great addition, giving you some extra shelter and a comfy spot to sit when the rain rolls in.

Add Plants

Enhance with flowers and vegetables in your backyard by building garden boxes onto your deck. You can easily maintain and grow your veggies and flowers, as you won’t have to venture far to reach them. A garden box of plants also adds some interest and color to an often-understated wood deck.

Construct Seating

Built-in benches around the perimeter of your deck can offer another dimension of appeal. Spruce up your benches with some weather-friendly cushions and pillows to add some color! Your friends and family will be happy to have the extra seating during a get-together as well.

How About a Fire Feature?

Movable and built-in fire features are the new hot trend and continue to grow in popularity. Install a fire pit with a propane tank that can be periodically filled and set within the fire pit box. Add glass stones, and voila, you are ready to relax, entertain and enjoy the ambiance. Please note it is vital to consider safety when constructing any features with fire.

Install a Deck Cover

During the warmer months, extending your living space outdoors always seems to be the goal. If you have a deck, why not add a wooden pergola or a roof frame? If you’re covered, you’ll never have to worry about taking your meal or relaxing afternoon indoors if it rains. The real bonus is not having to worry about bringing outdoor furniture and accessories in before a storm.

Add Storage

Adding storage can be a great idea. You’d be amazed at how convenient it is to have storage boxes built onto your deck. You don’t have to worry about lugging your cushions, pool accessories, or anything else into the house or shed overnight. It makes the clean-up quick, and your job even easier.

Update With Paint or Stain

On a budget? Give your deck a makeover and bring it back to life with new paint or stain. You will be amazed at how this quick fix without a high cost will change the look of your existing deck.
