White pants. A golf course. No bathroom in sight. That's where this one starts — and somehow we still end up breaking down the 7 outdoor living trends Deck Specialist Magazine says are defining this spring's decking season.

We go through all of them: blending indoor and outdoor style, weather protection and why Zillow says an outdoor fireplace adds 2.8% to your home's sale price, the color debate, black railings, fast-install railing systems, whether cooler decking technology is real or snake oil, and wellness spaces. We agree on most of it. We push back on a few. 

Build something worth being outside for.
