Deck Specialist Magazine's Spring Trends, Reviewed - The Deckheads Podcast

About this episode

The episode reviews the top outdoor living trends for spring as outlined by Deck Specialist Magazine.

White pants. A golf course. No bathroom in sight. That's where this one starts — and somehow we still end up breaking down the 7 outdoor living trends Deck Specialist Magazine says are defining this spring's decking season. We go through all of them: blending indoor and outdoor style, weather protection and why Zillow says an outdoor fireplace adds 2.8% to your home's sale price, the color debate, black railings, fast-install railing systems, whether cooler decking technology is real or snake oil, and wellness spaces. We agree on most of it. We push back on a few.
