Deck Plus Designs Outdoor Spaces For Your WHOLE Family — Including Your Four-Legged Friends

When Deck Plus says “we design outdoor living spaces the entire family can enjoy” we really mean it. During your design consultation, we listen to your wants, desires, tastes, and needs carefully. When part of your needs means making the space you have in mind accessible and easy for your pets to enjoy, we integrate those specifications into your custom design.  Exceeding the expectations of your ideal outdoor addition is something we take great pride in and we take your happiness very seriously.

A case in point is this recent screened porch addition we completed for these local Charlotte-area homeowners. One of their special requests was to design the porch so that their cat could also enjoy the space, too. What cat wouldn’t enjoy bird watching and catnapping from their own screened porch?

PetScreen Makes It Okay For Your Pets To Just “HANG AROUND”

One concern for many homeowners with cats, and dogs, when it comes to screened rooms is the screen itself. Claws and paws can damage and degrade traditional screening methods which are typically used on screened porches and enclosures. When pets will be enjoying your addition, Deck Plus recommends the use of PetScreen to ensure your screening stays in good condition when pets are part of the family.

What Is Pet Screen?

PetScreen^® is a dog and cat-resistant screen which also still keeps your porch protected from insects and outdoor debris. Made from durable vinyl-coated polyester mesh engineered to resist wear and tear. This screen is designed to be tear and puncture-resistant to resist damage by most dogs and cats.

Not only will this screen help you retain the aesthetics and protection of your space, but it will also save money avoiding the cost of having to replace inferior screening due to damage from pets. Over time these costs can add up! As an added benefit, this screen keeps most insects out and minimizes exposure to fleas and ticks trying to get to your pet from the yard.  Dangerous insects like fleas and ticks can cause health problems for your pets. By investing in using PetScreen, you and your pet can enjoy nature, without nature making its way indoors to your home.

Pet-Friendly Outdoor Living Spaces

In addition to PetScreen use on screened porches, Deck Plus also offers a host of custom options to make your deck, three-season room and patio pet friendly.  These include the addition of a pet gate, low maintenance decking options and even wide steps for aging pets.
