31 May Home Remodeling: Home Remodeling: Create a Pet-Friendly Deck

Pets are part of the family, and creating a pet-friendly deck allows them to enjoy outdoor space with you. To ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your furry friends, follow these steps:

Select  the right materials when building your deck:

• Choose pet-friendly decking materials such as cedar, redwood, or composite decking.
• Avoid pressure-treated wood, as it contains chemicals that may be harmful to pets if ingested.
• Opt for materials that are scratch-resistant and do not splinter easily.

Designing Safe Boundaries:

• Install sturdy railings and barriers to prevent pets from falling off the deck.
• Ensure the gaps between the railings are narrow enough to prevent small pets from squeezing through.
• Consider adding a gate at the stairs or entrance to control your pet’s access to the deck.

Creating a Comfortable Surface:

• Use rugs or pet-friendly outdoor carpeting to provide a soft and comfortable surface for your pets to walk on.
• Avoid using rough or abrasive materials that could irritate their paws.

Incorporate  Pet-Friendly Furniture:

• Choose outdoor furniture that is suitable for both you and your pets.
• Opt for durable and easy-to-clean materials that can withstand pet activity.
• Consider adding pet beds or cushions to provide a cozy spot for your pets to relax.
