Decks
Heaters are a safe and effective way to warm up your patio in the winter, but it’s important you do thorough research and find the right kind of heater for your specific patio. Adding a heating element to your outdoor area is not only functional, but it creates a unique focal point that draws guests’ attention all year round. When exploring your different heating options, from patio heaters and portable fireplaces to fire pits, consider your deck. For instance, wood decks are highly combustible and unsuited for wood-burning fireplaces. Instead, it would be best to opt for a gas-fueled fire pit! Our expert deck builders in Wichita also recommend exploring your options for overhead ceiling deck heaters, wall-mounted deck heaters, and floor-standing patio heaters to avoid impacting the permanent deck structure.
If you plan on spending a significant amount of time outdoors this winter, enclose your deck to keep you safe and warm from the elements. From patio and vinyl covers to canopies and insulated deck roofs, there are endless options that can help create a warm and welcoming deck. A deck enclosure can also help trap heat generated by your outdoor heaters to keep you cozy all season long! Consider adding an insulated deck roof and enclosing the walls with glass to increase efficiency and allow you to control the temperature of your deck as you do the inside of your home.
Warm up your deck with a relaxing hot tub this winter! There’s no better feeling than slipping into a bubbling hot tub after spending all day in the freezing weather, but like with all other things, there are some logistical hurdles to keep in mind when planning for your outdoor hot tub. Our team recommends partnering with an experienced remodeling company well-versed in deck construction to help ensure your deck is built to support the extra weight of a hot tub. Additionally, you will need to place it near a power source for the hot tub to function correctly. Once you have navigated all the physical requirements of installing a hot tub, your deck is sure to be warm and cozy for winter!
