Make the Most of Your Outdoor Space During Colder Months
November 1, 2024

Having an outdoor space is a great way to spend time with friends and family during the summer months, but it can be difficult to use your outdoor area in the winter.
However, there are some great ideas for updating your outdoor space so that you can enjoy it all year round. Whether you’re looking for a way to make your outdoor area cozier or just want to add a few extra elements, these updates will bring life to your outdoor area even when it’s cold outside!
- Lighting Up Your Outdoor Space: Adding lighting to your outdoor space is a great way to make it more inviting and livable during the colder months. You can choose from string lights hung overhead or place lamps around seating areas.
- Heaters and Fireplaces: Outdoor heaters come in many shapes and sizes, but they all provide an effective way of keeping you warm while you're spending time outdoors. If you have a deck or patio that’s exposed to windy conditions, look into getting a freestanding propane heater that emits infrared heat which keeps everyone cozy no matter how cold it is outside.
- Outdoor Furniture If you don't already have outdoor furniture then now is the perfect time to get some! When shopping for furniture look for pieces made from materials like wicker or teak wood since they stand up well against harsh weather conditions and last longer than other materials.

Let S&S Design Build help you create your next backyard oasis! For this project the client had an existing covered porch and an existing patio. We improved the area by adding a screen enclosure and door on the front side and a motorized screen on the side. With the motorized unit the client has the option to open and close the screen at the push of a button. They now can enjoy the fall TN nights completely enclosed safe from pest or semi-enclosed allowing a full breeze of the fresh fall weather. Adjacent to the enclosed covered area we installed a patio cover where they are safe from rain and harmful sun rays, while providing cover for their grill and other outdoor patio furniture.

At S&S Design Build, LLC, we love transforming outdated and underused outdoor spaces into areas that homeowners can enjoy for years to come. This recent project is a great example of how replacing an aging deck can completely change the look, functionality, and usability of a backyard. A Fresh Start for an Aging Deck The existing deck had seen better days. It was weathered, dated, and no longer provided the clean, inviting outdoor space the homeowners wanted. Instead of simply repairing the old deck, we removed the existing structure and created a brand-new concrete patio pad with a beautiful brush finish , giving the space a clean and durable foundation for outdoor entertaining. A Beautiful Concrete Patio Transformation The new concrete patio provides a significant upgrade in both appearance and functionality. The brush-finished concrete surface adds subtle texture while creating a practical, low-maintenance outdoor surface. We also incorporated steps and a new railing , creating a safe and finished transition from the elevated portion of the home down to the new patio area. The result is a simple but dramatic transformation—from a rundown deck to a clean, welcoming patio that gives the homeowners a comfortable place to enjoy their backyard. Built for Enjoying the Outdoors The new patio creates the perfect space for outdoor dining, morning coffee, entertaining guests, or simply relaxing outside. The homeowners can now take advantage of their backyard without dealing with the maintenance and appearance issues that came with the old deck. At S&S Design Build, LLC , we can help you reimagine your outdoor space, whether you're looking to replace an aging deck, install a new concrete patio, add steps and railings, or create a complete outdoor living area.
