There are many decisions to be made when building a new deck or rebuilding an old one. You have to choose between decking materials, railings, adding an underdeck, and many other options. However, another thing you should be considering is deck lighting. While it might seem like something small, adding lighting can help enhance your deck in a variety of ways!
Adding some lighting to your decking can enhance your outdoor experience. First of all, deck lights can enhance the safety of your outdoor space. It decreases the risk of tripping hazards and accidents. Well-lit decks make it safer for people to move around, especially in the evening or at night. In addition to better safety, it allows you to extend your use of your deck. This will allow you to host gatherings, barbecue, or simply relax on your deck for longer.
Lighting also provides easy navigation, especially if you add them to the deck step and stairs. It also helps unfamiliar guests understand the layout of your outdoor space. Also, the lighting can change the mood and atmosphere of your deck. The best part, you can make these lights energy-efficient by opting to use LED. LED lights are durable, long-lasting, and consume less energy compared to traditional incandescent bulbs.
