When it comes to premium decking, one of the names that always stands out in the industry is Zuri Premium Decking (by Royal). However, a consistent question surrounding this decking is how to waterproof the deck itself, thus helping ensure the longevity and usability of the structure. When tackling this issue from a construction standpoint, it’s not actually about treating the boards or making the boards themselves waterproof—or even water resistant. Rather, it entails creating an entire drainage system that affects how the water is irrigated.

Outdoor living spaces, be they decks in Maryland or screened porches in Virginia, can oftentimes be a challenge to upgrade once they're built. That's because there are simply more roadblocks and issues to overcome in terms of what can be installed and where with an existing structure in place. This is true for outdoor ceiling fans, outdoor televisions, outdoor patio heaters, and even outdoor furniture, but especially for bulkier items like powder coated stainless steel outdoor kitchen cabinets.

Upgrading porches and elevated decks with a backyard kitchen with outdoor kitchen appliances can come with their own sets of challenges. It's important to recognize what those are before seriously considering high quality outdoor cabinets for your home renovation.
