Can I use outdoor furniture and accessories on a wooden deck?
Using outdoor products on wooden decks:
- Furniture: Use rubber or felt pads under chair and table legs to prevent scratches. Avoid dragging furniture — lift to move.
- Outdoor rugs: Safe on wooden decks. Ensure the deck surface dries between rain and rug placement to prevent moisture trapping.
- Gazebos/pergolas: Verify your deck can support the structure weight plus snow/wind loads. Consult a structural engineer for structures over 200 lbs.
- Planters: Use saucers under planters to prevent water staining. Elevate heavy planters on pot feet for air circulation.
- Canopies: Use weight bags (not stakes) to secure canopies on decks. Never drill through waterproof deck membrane.
