Spring is coming! Are you ready for outdoor entertaining?

 



During the pandemic, people spent more time at home where many folks were looking at ways they could improve their living space. This includes outdoor amenities, and most importantly, their decks. Now that it is becoming safer to spend more time entertaining, it might be a good time to think about how you can get your deck ready for entertaining this year. With spring just around the corner, let's look at some practical improvements to get your outdoor living space ready.


New or rebuilt?


Many home plans already include a deck, but some homes don't have one quite finished. Regardless, for any deck that needs some major Improvement, it's important to consider how that deck is going to be put together. Of course going with a qualified contractor, and choosing the right type of wood or composite will help create an outdoor living space that is both safe and long-lasting. When it comes to fastening the boards to your deck, there are several choices. For both wood and composite decks, many families choose to find a hidden clip that is strong enough to hold the boards in place but is not visible from the outside. This creates a more seamless, classy look to your outdoor living area. Whether you are looking to build a new deck or rebuild your old deck, finding the right deck fastening system is really important.


Deck fastening systems:


Many wood and composite deck board suppliers recommend using their own clips, but we recommend looking into all options that are available in the market, including Black Talon Universal Deck Fasteners.
