What should I use to cover deck trellis to shield from rain/debris?
Thursday, April 30th, 2009Hi,
We have a large deck that we are refinishing and about a 12′ x 10′ section of the deck has a trellis covering it. The trellis simply consists of 4 posts and horizontal slats, so it is mostly open. We have recently purchased some expensive outdoor wicker furniture and a table with a propane fire pit…so I would like to shield this area from rain and falling leaves, helicopters, etc from the huge tree above it…as it would be our only “covered” area.
My problem is that i’m not sure what to use…I don’t want it to be ugly (tarp), but I also want it to be effective. I found a sunshade here: http://www.kingcanopy.com/product/pc-20011-12 . I’m thinking that since the big tree blocks a good deal of rain it might do the trick. Anyone have experience with how much water they repel? Any other suggestions as to what i should go with here?
Thanks
John
