Placeholder ImageTips for Choosing Deck Furniture Picking out deck furniture isn’t easy, but if you use these tips, the process can be made more manageable.

Do you have a new deck, but you aren’t sure how to design it? It’s not always easy knowing what to do with your outdoor living space, and picking out furniture is just another task that can become difficult. There are all kinds of furniture, and they vary in many aspects, such as aesthetic, texture, and price. Picking out deck furniture isn’t easy, but if you use these tips, the process can be made more manageable.

Focus on Every Detail of Your Furniture

Some pieces of furniture might look nice at a glance, but there may be some hidden problems with them. For example, steel items are vulnerable to rusting, so you’ll want stainless steel instead. Some wooden pieces might have splinters in them, so you want to be sure all wooden furniture you buy has been sanded to prevent splinters from being a problem. Lastly, if you have any chairs or tables on your deck, you’ll need rubber or plastic feet on them so that they won’t scratch your floor.

Pick Furniture That’s Comfortable

If you have patio furniture that comes with metal frames, you’ll want to pick out some comfortable and luxurious cushioning. The cushions and pillows should be light and plush, and you should be able to carry them without difficulty.

By getting cushions that are light and springy, they will be able to dry more quickly after they have gotten wet. This makes it easier for your cushions to avoid developing mold and mildew, which in turn increases their longevity.

Think About The Overall Design of Your Deck

It’s nice to have good-looking furniture, but the furniture looks its best when it goes well with your deck design. Look at the colors and designs of furniture, and see if they match the look of your deck. When your decking and furniture match, you’re more likely to improve the curb appeal of your house.

Consider Using Multipurpose Furniture

When you’re getting outdoor furniture, you want it to be flexible. For this reason, consider looking into multi-purpose furniture for your decking. Some tables can be collapsed to allow for more space outside. You could use dividers to completely change the dynamic of your outdoor living space. Umbrellas could be used to provide shade to different areas of your deck throughout the day. This extra utility will resonate well with anyone living in your house or with anyone who wishes to purchase it later.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
