Deck

[cateyes1]

We are having built a 11 X 12 deck. 1st time ever having a deck, besides chairs and a table what else can I put on it to make it look nice?

A grill? an umbrella/covering for protection from rain/sun?

A Bench, a  nice Umbrella, there are some candles to help with bugs and mosquitoes, maybe some nice lighting

Wind chimes and some flower pots, preferably with flowers in them.  We have a bird bath on our deck too...always entertaining.

The most interesting addition we made to our deck was a hummingbird feeder. Very inexpensive, simple to maintain and enchanting to watch for hours.

I vote for some pretty plants and flowers. Bird feeders are nice too. Enjoy your outdoor space.

my mother always had humming bird feeders on her patio. They are neat to watch!
I have pink geraniums on my patio- so pretty
I also have a small battery operated water fountain.
Enjoy your new deck!

Nice plants to provide some shade and personal touch

This is wonderful for you! My brother and his family have a deck, too, and they use it constantly in good weather. I would love to have a deck, but we live in a one-story ranch house. If I had a deck, I think I would decorate it with patio furniture (with umbrella) and a barbecue grill and possibly some tall potted plants or something. Enjoy!

I have always wanted a deck. I always thought they where so cool. I guess I am stuck with a porch.

Congratulations on your new deck.  I pray that you enjoy it to the fullest.

An umbrella and fire pit.

something to protect you from mosquitos and some of the suggestions sound great for a deck

[cateyes1]

Thanks everyone many good ideas. I'll have to wait till it's finished to see how much room I have to put all this stuff LOL.

Not sure I would want a fire pit on a deck, especially if it is a wooden deck. Maybe on a concrete patio or further out in the yard if that is possible, but it seems to me that would be dangerous to have one on a deck itself.
