Outdoor Living: It’s All in the Details

Picture a home with an outdoor living space you find especially attractive. Is there one feature that stands out? The pergola? The interesting detail in the deck railing? A gleaming white picket fence. It’s usually not a single piece, but the combination that creates a truly memorable outdoor escape.

Here are a few things to consider when setting out to make the green space that surrounds your home more inviting.

Make a statement with a pergola or gazebo

Whether creating a secluded escape, or perhaps a backyard or poolside focal point, a vinyl pergola or gazebo is a beautiful way to bring interest and charm to the great outdoors.

Add an Arbor

Define a point of welcome at your gate with a vinyl arbor. Most are available in a variety of styles to complement any fence style.

Fence it with style

Give your property the look of an estate, define your home’s footprint on the lot, add privacy or bring charm to a front yard with vinyl or composite fence. Top of the line options are available with gleaming white painted finish or the look of wood and are crafted to be weather-resistant and virtually maintenance free.

Enhance railing on decks and stairs

If you’re reevaluating your backyard living spaces, make sure to look at eye level when you’re seated on your deck. Is your railing still stable and safe? Is it great looking or merely functional? A new railing, complete with decorative detail, can make any deck or staircase look up to date. Available in an array of styles to match any home or deck style, vinyl railing never needs painting and won’t rot or splinter.

Get creative with gates

Gates are the welcome point into your yard or outdoor space and they deserve a special touch. A beautiful gate, rich with detail and designed to last, sets off a fence and creates a dramatic entrance to your yard.

Mind the details

Fence style is one thing, but don’t overlook the importance of the details. From post caps to hardware, these details can add extra appeal to fences and gates.
