Host dinners, set up lounge chairs, or crack open a book with your morning coffee on your deck this summer and enjoy the season to the fullest.

Truly transform your space with a covered living area

Basking in the summer sun on your deck is a wonderful way to pass the time this season. However, some days it’s nice to lounge in the shade while still being able to enjoy the outdoors. This is where covered living areas come in! Distinctive Deck Designs offers:

  • Gazebos
  • Screened porches
  • Sunrooms
  • Front Porches

Outdoor structures will allow you and your family to enjoy the great outdoors this season without worrying about the elements. Keep out intense sunlight and bugs by installing one of our incredible, outdoor living options.
