2. Exercise. Enjoy your exercise routine by moving it outside instead of in your living room or basement. You can have plenty of room for stretching. Imagine doing your favorite yoga pose while listening to birds chirping in the background.
3. Install a Hot Tub. The right set-up will allow you to put in a hot tub safely. That is when the relaxing nights can start. You can come home from a crazy commute, slip on your suit, and jump in the hot tub for 15-20 minutes and let the stress of the day swirl away with the water jets.
4. Play with Your Kids. Build memories when you take the game night out to the spa. Grab some waterproof cards or board games, some snacks, and let the giggles and bonding begin!
5. Groom Your Pet. Keep Fido’s fur out of the house when you groom him on your deck. Clean up will be much easier, and you both can enjoy the breeze of a lovely day.
6. Take a Nap. This may quickly become a favorite activity for you. All it takes is one peaceful nap on a pleasant day, and you will be hooked. Keep plenty of cushions and a light blanket or two for added comfort.
7. Read/Relax/Do a Crossword. Spend an hour lounging around with a good book or crossword puzzle. Today’s busy world makes it hard to unplug and unwind. Your newly constructed deck eliminates the excuse of “no place to relax”.
8. Cook/BBQ. This list would not be complete with the obvious, a BBQ or cookout. Enjoy grilling year-round when you set up your charcoal or gas grill and pop some burgers and hot dogs on it.
