Deck Entertaining Ideas
5 deck entertaining must haves from Deckorators.
Deckorators® products are as strong and highly functional as they are attractive. Each is smartly engineered, made of top-quality materials and durably coated for greater protection against the elements, assuring year after year of lasting beauty with minimal care. Whether you seek the traditional style of our Classic balusters, want a distinctive post cap to spruce up your existing deck or looking for a complete railing system, Deckorators products help make your deck, fence or porch an essential aspect of your home décor.
1. SOLAR POST CAP LIGHTS
To set the mood for a great event, think about the lighting. To keep guests comfortable after the sun goes down, try Deckorators® solar post caps. They offer a soft glow instead of flooding the deck with light. Plus, with no need for wiring or electricity, these caps can be added to existing posts with little more than exterior construction adhesive.
2. DRINK-FRIENDLY RAIL
If you're planning many gatherings on your deck, consider a flat top rail profile that's wide enough for glasses and small plates. Deckorators aluminum rail with a cap rail and CXT Contemporary profile feature a flat top that's wide enough to hold a drink. Have a 2x4 wood rail? Add a flat cap rail to the top 2x4.
3. LOW MAINTENANCE DECK & RAILING
Accidents happen. In case a drink or food spills onto your deck or railing, it's best to have a surface that’s easy to clean. Co-extruded composite railing is a smart option: it's ultra-low maintenance and cleans up well. Plus, with Deckorators CXT Railing, you have the bonus of it being compatible with a wide array of our products.
4. RECESSED LIGHTING
If you're building a deck with stairs, recessed lighting is essential. It's a relatively low-cost and easy upgrade, and it helps to ensure the safety of your guests in the evening. Recessed lighting can be installed to mark the perimeter of the deck or in risers to illuminate stairways.
5. DECK STONES
Whether you're grilling shish kabob or roasting marshmallows over a fire pit, there often is some kind of heat source on your deck in the summer. Protect the deck surface by installing deck stones. Choose between Riverstone Granite or Smoke Slate.
