Let Freedom Fence and Deck light up your deck in Washington, D.C.!
Backyard decks can be simple, with just the basics, and serve you completely well. However, some residential decks are really not complete until they have one or more additions. While plenty of deck additions are optional, some are necessary to complete individual deck designs. If you need to install deck lighting in Washington, D.C., see what Freedom Fence and Deck can do for you.
When Is Deck Lighting Required?
The International Residential Code (IRC) may require deck stair lights, or at least at the top of a deck staircase. Even if you have a low-elevation deck with two exterior steps into the backyard, you may need artificial lighting at the top of the deck stairs to pass home inspections with flying colors.
Types of Deck Lighting
Deck lighting comes in different styles serving different functions. Here are the general types of deck lighting that you might layer into your deck design:
- Flood lights: Flood lights attach to the house but are a practical solution for illuminating entire backyard decks.
- Recessed lights: Recessed lights can be on the deck’s perimeter, illuminating the deck and highlighting its outline.
- Post cap lights: Post cap lights fit securely on top of deck railing posts. They can be simple or decorative.
- Under-rail lights: Under-rail lights create an ambient glow around your deck’s perimeter while lighting the space well.
- Deck stair lights: As mentioned before, deck stair lights can be required. Deck stair lights can be installed within the risers to light up every step.
- String lights: String lights are an affordable, removable option that can be hung on the deck railings or over the deck itself.
- Outdoor lamps: Stylish outdoor lamps, which can use solar power, offer task lighting for specific spots on the deck.
