			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1111" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;" title="complete deck" src="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/deck.jpg" alt="deck" width="304" height="228" />Decking is a great way to extend the size of your patio or simply make a beautiful floor covering over what currently exists.  Go the extra step to enclose the underside of your deck.  It will be the perfect finishing touch to your patio remodeling project.</p>
<h3>Lattice or Fully Enclosed Skirting</h3>
<p>Underside decking can also be referred to as skirting.  Some homeowners chose to wrap lattice work around the deck while others might select something more fully enclosing such as 2” x 4” boards.  These types of wrap around systems can be wonderful support structures or backdrops for climbing vines or shrubs.</p>
<h3>Make Outdoor Storage Space</h3>
<p>If your deck is high enough off the ground, this enclosed underside can also be transformed into additional storage space.  Underside deck enclosures also create a safer area.  This will keep children, pets, or those unwanted rodents from getting under you deck area.</p>
<p>Decks low to the ground without enclosures can be hazardous areas for our kids and pets.  Create a safer and more beautiful deck system by completely enclosing your under deck area.</p>
