In Michigan, we’ve all seen it: that rare, wonderful December day where the sun peeks out, the snow melts just a bit, and the thermometer climbs into the 40s. While most people are hunkered down inside, customers of RN Construction know a secret—these are some of the best days of the year to enjoy your custom outdoor living space.

At RN Construction, we believe your deck shouldn’t have a “closed” sign just because it’s winter. Here is how you can utilize your high-performance Trex deck during those crisp Michigan “thaw” days.

The Ultimate Winter Grill-Out

There is something special about the smell of a grill in the crisp winter air. When the weather hits the 40s in Oakland or Livingston County, it’s the perfect time to fire up the grill for a holiday meal. Whether it’s a marinated tenderloin or classic burgers, grilling on your deck keeps the heat and the mess out of a crowded holiday kitchen.

Hot Chocolate Around the Fire Feature

Many of our custom builds include integrated fire tables or gas fire pits. Imagine wrapping up in a heavy blanket, holding a steaming mug of hot chocolate, and basking in the wonderful atmosphere of your backyard. Because we are a Trex Pro Platinum Contractor, we use materials that are engineered to withstand Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles, meaning you can sweep off the light slush and ignite your fire feature in seconds.
