As soon as the sun sets behind the Rockies, your deck transforms. Sunlight recedes, shadows stretch across the area: where once your view was broad, space seems confined, yet intimate. There is nothing like a little sunshine on your DeckTec custom wood deck, but at some point – perhaps soon – the Colorado heat will attempt to chase you from your outdoor space.

For over 30 years, DeckTec has been mastering the art of shade creation for our clients, but come July, your best bet may be to wait until the sun calls it a day. In fact, with the right deck lighting, night time may just be your preferred deck experience. Take a look at what thoughtful deck lighting can add to your deck life after dark.

Your deck is unique to you. You can personalize it with decorative string lights or a whimsical lantern you can gather around with those who mean the most to you.

Au Naturel

Why mess with nature. Sometimes the most luxurious illumination can be attributed to a warm fire’s glow or gentle moonlight.
