There are many decisions to be made when building a new deck or rebuilding an old one. You have to choose between decking materials, railings, adding an underdeck, and many other options. However, another thing you should be considering is deck lighting. While it might seem like something small, adding lighting can help enhance your deck in a variety of ways!
Adding some lighting to your decking can enhance your outdoor experience. Well-lit decks make it safer for people to move around in the late evening or at night. In addition to better safety, it allows you to extend the use of your deck. Lighting provides easy navigation, especially if you add them to the deck step and stairs. In addition, the lighting will showcase your property and enhance the mood and atmosphere. The best part is that you can make these lights energy-efficient by opting to use LED lights. LED (light emitting diode) lights are durable, long-lasting, and consume less energy compared to traditional incandescent bulbs or fluorescent lighting.
Adding lighting to your outdoor space can significantly enhance its functionality, safety, and ambiance. Here are some compelling reasons to add lighting to your deck.

Deck railing and stair railings are the finishing touches on a deck that gives it a look and feel while providing a natural safety barrier for guests. Your deck’s style is meant to complement your home, increase curb appeal, and will help increase your home’s overall value. The porch railing gives your deck a personality depending on what style and material you get. Metal railing vs. composite has a different look and feel to them that will change the style of your deck.
