REAL ESTATE

television, this space offers 
an oasis for watching mov-
ies, sports or binging your 
favorite shows with family 
and friends.

FACTOR IN FUN. 
If you’re tight on space 
underneath the deck but 
still want a design element 
with unique flair, installing 
a swing is a fun addition. 
A swing doesn’t take up a 
huge amount of space and 
is the perfect spot to enjoy a 
breezy afternoon.

KEEP IT COZY. 
Whether hosting a wine 
night for friends or having 
a night in with your family, 
incorporating a fireplace 
into your underdeck area 
creates a pleasant spot to 
enjoy a night of fresh air, 
while ultimately elevating 
the ambience.
Store in style. 
When properly protected, 
the space beneath a deck is 
ideal for storage. Seasonal 
items such as pool equip-
ment, gardening tools, patio 
furniture and yard games 
can be safely tucked away. 
Size permitting, this space 
can even be used to house 
grills, lawnmowers, bicycles, 
ATVs and snowmobiles.
