Outdoor Living Trends to Consider This Summer
(BPT) - Now, more than
ever, outdoor living is in
- with homeowners across
the country investing
more time and money
into their yards than ever
before. Following are five
trends that are expected to
shape the outdoor living
landscape in 2021.
1) Outdoor Offices
With working from home
and remote learning
expected to continue well
into 2021, contractors
report increased interest
in outdoor spaces that
c a n a c c o m m o d a t e
professionals and students.
Creating the look and feel
of an outdoor room and
providing shade, pergolas
are in high demand,
enhancing the visibility
of electronic devices and
offering cool relief.
2) Expanded Elbow Room
To optimize the space
beneath an elevated deck,
consider an under-deck drainage system, like
Trex® RainEscape®. In addition to protecting
the deck’s substructure from moisture damage,
this system creates dry, usable space beneath
a deck that can be outfitted with furniture,
lighting, entertainment components, workout
equipment or whatever might be needed to
accommodate day-to-day activities that now
take place at home.
3) Take the Plunge
Homeowners nationwide
are taking the plunge and
adding swimming pools, hot
tubs and other water features
to their yards. To give
these additions a finished
look, surround them with
high-performance, lowmaintenance
composite
decking, like Trex. Unlike
wood, composite decking
won’t rot, warp, stain
or fade and never needs
sanding, staining or sealing.
4) Give It a Try with DIY
The DIY category exploded
in 2020, encouraging
homeowners to roll up their
sleeves and tackle even the
most challenging projects.
To save time and money
- and earn some serious
bragging rights - ambitious
DIYers are turning to
YouTube and sites like
Decks.com for inspiration,
motivation and how-to tips.
