By: Tennessee Deck and Fence
August in East Tennessee brings warm evenings, the anticipation of tailgate season, and the ideal weather window to upgrade your outdoor living space. Whether hosting game-day barbecues or keeping pets secure in the yard, taking care of your deck and fence now ensures your property is ready before cooler autumn weather arrives.
-
Treat and Seal Natural Wood
East Tennessee’s summer heat and high humidity take a heavy toll on natural wood.
- Inspect for wear: Check for loose deck boards, wobbly handrails, or soft spots near structural joists.
- Seal out moisture: A thorough pressure wash and fresh protective stain shield timber against upcoming autumn rains and winter frost.
-
Switch to Low-Maintenance Composite Decking
If you prefer spending fall weekends watching football rather than sanding and staining, upgrading to composite decking is a smart investment.
- Long-term durability: Composite boards resist splinters, fading, warping, and rot.
- Easy cleanup: A quick wash is all it takes to keep your patio clean and ready for guests.
-
Upgrade Your Perimeter Fencing
With family, friends, and pets spending more time outdoors as afternoon temperatures drop, a sturdy fence provides safety and privacy.
- Vinyl & Wood Privacy: Blocks out street noise and creates a secluded backyard retreat.
- Aluminum Fencing: Delivers strong, elegant boundaries without blocking scenic mountain or wooded views.
-
Add Built-In Functional Features
Optimize your deck layout to handle larger groups without crowding the space with extra lawn chairs.
- Integrated seating: Custom built-in benches maximize seating along deck perimeters.
- Custom gates: Heavy-duty, self-latching gates keep children and dogs safely enclosed away from stairs.
