Hot southern summers or cold winters wouldn’t affect our deck time.
I have been pushing my spouse to add a deck onto our house, but right now we have a side door that has a small little pad plus stairs, basically you have enough room to rest plus look out at the woods, and other than that, the side door is pointless… I want the stairs to lead to a much greater pad plus be a deck. I have patio furniture that could rest on it plus I would love the grill there as well. It would additionally be nice to keep my garbage cans plus recycling bins in there. Right now they just kneel in my yard looking horrible. I really would love to enclose the deck though. I want to have a room so the rain wouldn’t affect myself and others when I rest out there, and having it screened would be really nice. I could keep bugs out plus get a breeze. If I am being honest, I really want to have it totally enclosed with windows. I then would want a ductless mini split unit. I could have it be a separate cooking section or an enclosed gym if I wanted to. Hot southern summers or cold winters wouldn’t affect our deck time. Having heating plus cooling in that space would add value to the house. It does add quite a bit more money onto the project though… So I do not know if I can convince my spouse that adding walls, windows plus a HVAC unit are the smart move. I might just get a wood deck plus that is it. I could be ecstatic with that.
