Wood decks offer a great place for the family to enjoy outdoor living.
The right seating for a wood deck provides enough space for guests to sit when you entertain. Good seats offer a comfortable and relaxed outdoor experience. You wouldn't want guests to get splinters in the behind or develop a backache from sitting. Also, remember to pick seating made from materials that stand up to the elements. Does this Spark an idea?
Amish Furniture
A timeless option for a wood deck involves deck furniture handcrafted by the Amish. Consider designs like log furniture glider chairs and A-frame porch swings. These types of furniture are movable. When it suits you, move a glider chair or porch swing to another part of the backyard. A glider chair may take up a lot of space and only seat one person, but two gliders are perfect for "couple time" on the deck. A porch swing suits couples and other combinations of friends and family.
Benches
Build benches into the design of your deck. Some patio decks feature wood benches along the entire length of the deck, and other patio decks contain strategically-located benches. For example, you don't want built-in benches blocking spaces such as windows and doors to the home or ramps and steps to access the wood deck. Built-in benches offer the attractiveness of blending in to the deck. Also, consumers can stain benches with the same product as the wood deck to prevent weather damage and splintering.
Patio Dining Setup
Benches, gliders and swings are not your only options. Create a space for group meals and adult social hours with either a picnic table and chairs or a patio dining setup. If you don't want wood furniture for the deck, buy a patio set made from materials like plastic, wrought iron or aluminum. A dining set might include a high table top and two, four or six matching bar stools or high-back chairs. Provide shade for this outdoor seating area with an umbrella that inserts in the center of the patio table. An alternative seating arrangement includes two wicker chairs or love seats facing a low wooden or wicker table.
