Inexpensive Deck Makeover Tips

Looking for affordable ways to spruce up your deck without redoing it altogether? Get tips in this video from Lowe’s Creative Ideas:

The stairs of this deck were too close to the back door, making a poor circulation pattern. Moving the stair created a better flow, kept the traffic pattern away from the house, created a natural seating and dining area on the deck, and opened up a spot for the grill.

The deck design was enhanced by staining the balusters and adding longer pieces and an apron, giving the deck a more finished feeling.

The addition of a canopy structure and decorative screens gave the deck more privacy, created an outdoor room with more visual interest, and provided a framework for lighting for evening entertainment.
