Homeowners are increasingly seeking ways to make their decks not only beautiful but also wellness-focused. The trend of adding cold plunges, spas, and saunas to decks is on the rise, and it’s easy to see why. Imagine lounging in your backyard and sinking into a hot tub that’s seamlessly integrated into your deck—pure bliss!
Get Started with the Right Materials
If you’re thinking about adding a water feature to your deck, it’s important to choose the right materials. Water features like hot tubs need durable, wear-resistant decking that also offers good traction to prevent slips. That’s where Deckorators Voyage decking featuring Surestone™ technology comes in. Surestone™ mineral-based composite material is designed for installation in and around water and offers best-in-class traction, keeping your deck looking great and staying safe all summer long.
