Incredible Deck With Built in Hot Tub - Full Backyard Makeover Time Lapse
What happens here
Finally, the overhead pergola structure is completed by installing the metal cross beams onto the previously erected wooden posts. This creates a shaded area over part of the deck. String lights are strung across the pergola and along the deck perimeter, enhancing the ambiance. Step lighting is installed along the deck stairs, and the surrounding garden beds are landscaped with plants and decorative stone edging, completing the transformation into a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing outdoor living space.
Goal: Complete the deck with overhead pergola, decorative lighting, and integrated landscaping.
