Tips for Decorating Your Fence & Deck for Fall
Don’t Let Organic Decor Sit Out Too Long
If you are using organic decorations, don’t let them sit out until they start rotting. You will get a putrid smell, the decorations will look awful, and you might ruin your porch, patio, or deck. Especially beware of decorating your fence or deck with organic matter if it is made of wood, since the wood will be more likely to rot if it touches rotting organic material. You can have your pumpkins and squash, but make sure you dispose of them before they get moldy.
Create a Color Scheme
It is easy enough to find autumnal decorations, but it is better to be tasteful than tacky. Your fall decorations should go well with your house and together. Thankfully, it is pretty easy to match fall colors together, such as yellow, red, orange, and white. You can also mix it up with some greens and purples, browns and black, or go white, black, and orange. You have more possibilities than you might realize!
Safety First!
When decorating your fence and deck for fall, make sure that the decorations stay away from fire sources, such as a fire pit or grill. Also, make sure that electrical connections are safe and out of the way if you use decorative lights. Keep decorations from becoming a tripping hazard, and keep pets from chewing on decorations that could harm their health.
