Deck Features FAQ

What deck lighting options work best in Colorado?
LED systems perform well in cold temperatures and provide energy efficiency. Solar options work effectively with Colorado’s abundant sunshine, while low-voltage systems offer reliable illumination during winter months.
Aluminum railings last 25-30 years, composite railings last 20-25 years, while properly maintained wood railings last 15-20 years with Colorado’s sun, snow, and wind exposure.
What is dryspace waterproofing, and when is it needed?
Dryspace systems create waterproof barriers underneath elevated decks, protecting structural components and creating usable space below. Recommended for decks over patios, walkways, or living areas where water protection is important.
Yes, with proper materials and weatherproofing. Stainless steel appliances, covered areas, and proper drainage allow outdoor kitchens to function in Colorado’s climate.
