Add A Wood Pergola To Your Deck
An inspired addition to your decking, a pergola adds so much to your outdoor living space. Offering protection from the elements, it enables you to create a beautiful shaded area for plants. Also, incorporating a pergola to your decking area means you can use the space to entertain guests or to create a dining area, without having to worry about the burn of the summer sun.

Choose Natural Hardwood for Outdoor Furniture
Your natural hardwood deck will look stunning and will only get better with age. So, it’s important to choose furniture that complements the natural, organic beauty of your decking material. Muted wood colors maintain that sophisticated yet rustic feel. Continue the beauty of your deck with custom furniture made using the same Ipe or Machiche hardwood as your deck.
