2. Build a slatted ceiling – Instead of building a pergola, build a slatted ceiling that is supported by a pair of trees flanking your deck.
3. Build a lattice – Add a bit of privacy to your deck without blocking the sunlight or the breeze by constructing a lattice.
4. Build a bench border – If your deck doesn’t need a railing, build a bench that borders the deck instead to act as a railing as well as to provide seating.
5. Add a built-in banquet – A built-in banquet can provide additional setting as well as hidden storage space.
