Can you believe that Memorial Day is next week?! How is summer here already? We haven’t even gotten into the 90s yet, which seems odd here in NC. Usually we’re all pretty sweaty by the end of May! But I’m not complaining.
We’ve gotten a lot accomplished in our backyard this spring, and I’ll be sharing those updates with you soon. One little project that we actually just started this past weekend was a small patio for our grill. We love our two-story porch on the back of our house, but there isn’t much room for grilling. And I don’t think placing a grill on a 114-year-old wood porch is the best and safest idea anyway!
We laid down some red brick pavers to create a space just big enough for a grill and maybe a cart for trays, utensils, etc. But eventually, we want to build a deck or patio that spans across the entire back side of our house. The porches are wonderful, but they just can’t hold as many people as we’d like. Plus, we want a fire pit!
So I was excited to learn a little more about Clubhouse Decking recently. Clubhouse Decking is made up completely of PVC, which means there’s no wood or wood fillers. That’s great news for us, since fire safety is something we seriously have to consider. Our entire house is (extremely flammable) wood, so if there’s a spark, it’s going up in flames. See why flame-retardant is so important to us?
Because there’s no wood, that also means there’s no likelihood of insect damage or rot, both of which we’ve had to deal with in our home renovation. Clubhouse Decking uses Korelite technology, which creates a unique, dense cell structure providing superior strength and a more solid under foot feel than regular wooden decking. Korelite also helps keep moisture out and reduces the opportunity for degradation from mold, mildew, freezing, and thawing.
But here’s the most exciting part: Clubhouse Decking features a lifetime warranty with a 25 year fade and stain protection. I remember my dad regularly having to stain our wooden deck growing up and it always seemed like such a chore. With Clubhouse Decking, you’re protected!
We’ve still got a while before a new deck is in the budget, but I’m so excited to know that there are products out there that will complement our historic home while providing us with the safety and longevity that we need!
