But you can usually use a power sprayer and it comes clean easily. This one I’m thinking just once a year since it’s covered. :)Thrifty Decor Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387609050626968143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-47155443005192739642018-06-05T18:00:39.353-04:002018-06-05T18:00:39.353-04:00You know, we’ve never had a problem!

This one is by far the lightest we’ve had.

We have a cement patio with table, chairs and some potted plants just off the kitchen and in-law suite. We have a small wood deck off the master which I never use. I still feel the need to decorate... What we live in all spring and fall (and summer when we can stand the humidity) is a screen porch off the other end of the kitchen. Last year for hubby's birthday we turned it into an outdoor living room by adding a ceiling fan, lattice up 5 feet for privacy, and an outdoor TV/stereo system. There is comfy furniture and a table, so we're set, mostly- this summer I am making plastic window covers to prolong the season and protect the furniture, and we will add a heater. Love it. Thank you for all the inspiration!LindaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818748746986347511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-28451128189247432552018-05-30T08:26:46.365-04:002018-05-30T08:26:46.365-04:00I love your outdoor patio. We have a large screen...I love your outdoor patio. We have a large screened porch which we live in spring through fall, as well as an outside wooden deck (where we have our grill and more potted plants). We live in central Virginia with the Blue Ridge Mtns as our view. Since we live so close to the mountains (and on the eastern side), the wind during the winter comes blowing like crazy off the mountains and thus, we can't have a ceiling fan on our vaulted ceiling.<br /><br />Our floor is wood decking and we don't think maintenance is bad. Once a year we power wash the wood. Every two to three years we restain (not paint) the wood. We would always get wood because we love the look. The railings and the trim actually take longer to clean than the wood (all the trim is white MiraTec and our railings are metal). Our rugs (and furniture) do get wet, but they dry quickly and have never been an issue. Our last rug was 6 years old and still in good shape, but I just got tired of it and replaced it with another rug that still looks brand new after being a year old.<br /><br />We have another patio that is concrete and that takes as much work as the wood. Every year we also power wash the concrete and every other year we reseal the concrete. It has to be swept all the time so I actually like the wood better than the concrete.<br /><br />ps I LOVE the heat and humidity so I am happy with this weather. I really do wish we had had some spring weather, though!<br /><br />Leslie K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13331055921768867594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-46467345939854568132018-05-29T20:47:16.990-04:002018-05-29T20:47:16.990-04:00That is a really nice space!

I like the patio more for the sake of not having to walk down a flight of stairs to the yard. I'm also in the midwest (Missouri). Did you enjoy that ONE week of spring? It's so hot now, I wish we had some sort of covering to block the sun and to be able to add a fan. I always wondered about outdoor rugs. How often do you have to clear them off for cleaning?VP Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595308235791770394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-37280221796601038622018-05-29T19:58:04.025-04:002018-05-29T19:58:04.025-04:00P.S.

They have blankets for when it's chilly and a ceiling fan for when it's hot. It's gorgeous, and I'm trying to convince him to come out to Colorado and build one for us when he retires. :)alpineflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100749625664298357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-8417180002599176332018-05-29T17:49:37.729-04:002018-05-29T17:49:37.729-04:00your outdoor spaces are always so pretty and look ...your outdoor spaces are always so pretty and look like the perfect place to hunker down and relax. happy summer!Laura @ duke manor farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201228619411520365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-41739329096936547912018-05-29T16:45:25.473-04:002018-05-29T16:45:25.473-04:00Gorgeous, although I was in love with your outdoor...Gorgeous, although I was in love with your outdoor space at your old house....but I completely understand the maintenance! If I was building a house from scratch I would absolutely have a big list of what I must have and what I cannot have - and wood decking would be on it for sure! Trex...maybe. But not wood. And yes, patio pavers are a magnet for weeds....sigh. I'd love a screened porch actually a four seasons room....ahhhh some day!! <br /><br />Debbie - Mountain Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401931842031353732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-63923085999627280782018-05-29T12:06:01.905-04:002018-05-29T12:06:01.905-04:00I wish, wish, wish I lived somewhere where I could...I wish, wish, wish I lived somewhere where I could have an outdoor space!
