Spring imt® THe Season

(MS) - With the warm weather of Spring just
around the comer, it's time to start thinking about
your outdoor living spaces. Are your wooden
deck and front porch ready for fun in the sun? It's
easy to update both in just a few easy steps and
give yourself a whole new look for the season.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
• Start with a clean slate. If the nasty winter
weather has left your deck looking less-than-pre
sentable, never fear; cleaning your wooden deck
is as easy as 1-2-3. Scrub with soap and water, let
dry and enjoy!
• Need a facelift? Change the whole look of your
wooden deck with a new stain. Available in a wide
range of colors, wood stains are easy to apply and
add a whole new depth and dimension to any of
your outdoor living spaces.
• Update your furniture. To change the look of
your deck or front porch, consider an easy, do-it
yourself project using treated Southern Pine lum
ber. A nice Adirondack chair would fill a comer
and allow more guest seating, while a planter box
brings fresh greenery to comers. Check out www.
spanpine.com for a wide range of outdoor project
ideas.
• Dress up your furniture. After you drag those
weatherproof seat pads out of storage, add a bright
throw pillow to a chair or a new vinyl tablecloth
to your table for a fresh new burst of color.
• Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow. Nothing
personalizes your deck or front porch like fresh
green plants and colorful flowers. Yellow flowers

help welcome the Spring, while red blooms coor
dinate nicely with your Flag Day and Fourth of
July decor. Consider rotating your flowers back
and forth between the front porch and deck for an
ever-changing look.
• Decorate! After your furniture and flowers are
in place, purchase a few inexpensive "yard art"
items to customize your look. Stained glass flow
ers, tin sunbursts and old-fashioned wall signs
add tremendous character and make your deck a
homey, fun place to hang out.
• Grill it, baby. Cooking outdoors isn't only
healthy, it creates a great social environment. All

these days; find the one that best fits your deco
rating - and cooking! - style, and go for it.
• Add space. If your deck or front porch has be
come a little cramped with furniture, plants, chil
dren's outdoor toys and dog bones, add a small
storage box to help control the clutter. It's also a
good place to store items during the winter.
• Rock and swing. A porch isn't a porch with
out a rocking chair or a swing. They're easy to in
stall and if you choose wood to match your deck,
they're a seamless accent to your decor.
• If you don't have a deck, build one! But choose
yourbuilding material wisely: if you want the look
of wood, use real wood. Treated Southern Pine
lumber is the only naturally renewable building
material on the market. It's durable, it's afford
able and it's strong. Choosing Southern Pine isn't
only environmentally sound, it's a strong lifestyle
choice. For more information on how to choose
Southern Pine lumber and where to buy it, visit

As you update your deck or front porch for
Spring, use your creativity when choosing d£cor,
furniture and flowers. And remember to choose
Southern Pine lumber for all of your outdoor proj
ects, including decks and front porches. The beau
ty and durability of the wood provides a lasting,
classic touch to any home style.
