Deck Privacy in Northern Virginia Winter

If you had your Trex deck built in the spring or summer months, you may be noticing some gaps in the overall look of your outdoor space in the dead of winter. With all the bare trees, you may not have as much privacy around your outdoor deck as you originally thought. Never fear! Even in the dead of those northern Virginia winters, there are options for added privacy.

A trellis is meant to be a permanent structure and can be made from a variety of materials in a variety of styles. Trellises typically need built-in back support or may lean against or be attached to a supporting wall or fence. A trellis can be made with the same composite decking material as your Trex deck. During the growing months, your trellis can be covered in lovely flowering vines, but still provides a privacy barrier when those plants are no longer blooming during the harsh northern Virginia winters.

With so many options for styles and colors, a trellis made with Trex composite decking materials can be the solution to your privacy problem in the dead of winter
