What kind of deck should I build for the fall and winter?
Decks - Fall and Winter
Choosing a deck design to serve the winter months can be difficult. If you are in a snow area and you want an enclosed deck, make sure that your roof can handle the weight of the average snow load. If you are in a rainy area, make sure you have good drainage away from your deck. For an enclosed deck you might want to look into a wood stove and for an open winter deck you could add a fire pit for some outdoor warmth. Be imaginative.
