Deck Skirting
Deck skirting does more than hide the space beneath your deck—it finishes the look, protects the under-deck area, and provides functional access. We offer a variety of materials, styles, and tiered options to suit any deck design.
Note: Our skirting tiers are a guideline to help visualize style and budget options. Every tier can be adjusted or customized to fit your preferences, including materials, lattice patterns, access panels, or critter guards.
Installation Approach
Vertical Skirting: Boards are installed directly against the deck or posts, and it doesn’t require additional framing if the deck frame is less than 2 feet above grade, creating a clean, simple finish for lower decks. Decks higher than 2 feet typically require framing for stability.
Horizontal Skirting, Lattice, and Decorative Screens: These options require hidden framing, constructed from pressure-treated pine, which is barely visible for a polished, professional look.
Critter Guard: Optional chicken wire or mesh installed 12" below grade inside the enclosure to prevent small animals from entering. Available for any tier but typically included in Tier 3 pricing.
Access Panels & Doors (Tier 3): Sliding or hinged panels for easy access to storage or utilities under the deck.
All skirting is installed with proper ventilation and drainage for long-term durability.
