Robert J. Slattery
PUBLISHER
Without going too deep into specifics, I am at an age where others may expect
me to be retired. But I’m just not mentally there yet. Yes, I love spending a week
or two on the beach in Florida, and I enjoy the occasional round of golf and game
of pickleball. But the truth is, I get a great deal of joy and satisfaction from creating
and building businesses.
While the missions of those businesses seem to vary—publishing, digital
media, pet containment products, dog parks, travel, restaurants, entertainment
venues, event marketing, brewing and distilling, they all generally fall under a
large umbrella—home and leisure.
Hence the name of my latest venture, Home & Leisure, a publication that
pulls all those threads together and offers consumers valuable information
and incredible deals for help around their homes, or ideas for their spare time
enjoyment.
This issue, our fourth, has a great blend of both. There’s a comprehensive
article on decking options which covers the latest in technology and material
selection. We have tips and recipes for incredible summer grill outs, and outdoor
lighting selections to make your home glow. Plus—my favorite feature—lots of
attractive offers that will save you money both around the house and out on
the town.
I’d love to hear your ideas on other topics you’d like us to cover. You can reach
me at publishers@housetrends.com.

DECISIONS
Get outdoor living plans off the ground
TimberTech Advanced PVC Decking
Every season, more and more homeowners are creating outdoor
spaces where they can gather and unwind. A classic choice for
decades—decks—continues to rise in popularity. To meet this growing
demand, the industry has responded by producing innovative
materials, fresh features and low-maintenance options. ➻
home & leisure 2024 15

MATERIALS MATTER
Choosing the right material is a logical
and important first step for anyone
looking to build a deck. “Modern
decking materials have so much more to
offer than traditional lumber,” explains
Amanda Cimaglia, Vice President, ESG
& Corporate Affairs for TimberTech.
“Manufactured products, like PVC and
composite, use polymer blends and
capping to improve the durability and
longevity of decks.”
“The vast majority of our decking
requests in the past few years has
leaned heavily toward composite
materials,” says Zack Sowder, design
and build estimator, K & R Landscaping
Originally a wood-fiber, wood-polymer
mix, composite boards today are
aesthetically pleasing and have been
refined to include a structural layer
of protection in the form of capping.
The cap is comprised of either plastic
or PVC and prevents moisture and
insects from penetrating the boards.
In addition to being low-maintenance,
composite also offers the benefit of
hidden fasteners, which create a cleaner
look.
PVC is another option. Made of
plastic, it’s also impervious to moisture
and stays cool on hot summer days.
It’s slip-resistant, projects a wood-like
appearance, and is a particularly good
choice if you live in a fire zone.
Wood is still a viable option and
should not be discounted. Premium
wood which is preservative-treated and
of the highest grade is key for strength
and longevity.

BLEND INDOOR AND OUT
When it comes to decks, a quality design
is as important as quality material.
Cimaglia explains that homeowners are
looking to seamlessly blend indoor and
outdoor living spaces and create a more
natural flow between the two. “Plus,
16 home & leisure 2024

adding an outdoor living space is often a less expensive way to add more square
footage to a home and can even create a multifunctional ‘room’ for entertaining,
exercising, playing with the kids or reading a book,” she continues.
Sometimes creating a multifunctional space requires adding multiple levels or
elevating your deck. This creates visual interest and further expands your square
footage. As part of the design process, consider adding a shade structure, which can
protect you from the elements while also creating an attractive focal point.
One of the other main design considerations is what type of deck railing to
install. Wood has traditionally been the material of choice, but today’s options
include composite, PVC or metal, including aluminum, which is currently quite
popular.
The railing’s infill is not to be overlooked, as it helps define the aesthetic for the
space you’re curating and determines what your view will be. Options range from
traditional balusters to glass panels to stainless steel cable, so you can achieve
everything from a stately, traditional look to something that’s more industrial or
minimalistic.
COLOR TRENDS
Deck colors are trending toward lighter browns and natural tones this year,
including light grays and a stunning whitewashed cedar. While gray tones have
infiltrated all of home design, the darker grays and black deck tones that were once
popular are being edged out. ➻

LIGHT IT UP
Lighting should be a key part of the deck design process, as not only does
deck lighting increase visibility after dusk, it also creates an attractive
radiance to completely transform the look and feel of your space.
When it comes to decks, a little light can go a long way. Here are some
options:
In-deck lighting: You can indicate direction and safely guide guests
around the space.
Riser lights: These attractive yet subtle stairway additions help
prevent stumbles.
Decorative post cap lights: These softly lit ring lights add a touch of
elegance while providing a line of sight on your deck. Solar-powered
post caps skip the wiring and save energy.
SUSTAINABILITY AND PRESERVATION
Homeowners today are interested in environmentally sustainable
products, and in the decking industry, products are created with that
in mind. TimberTech decking is made from up to 85 percent recycled
waste and scrap material that otherwise would have been destined for a
landfill. Over its lifecycle, it’s a more sustainable option than traditional
wood decking, and it’s recyclable at end of life.
Once you invest in a deck, you want to ensure you’ll be able to enjoy
it for years, and that’s where maintenance comes in. “Deck maintenance
is vital to a deck’s appearance and structural integrity,” says Cimaglia.
“When done properly and routinely, it increases your deck’s lifespan and
reduces the likelihood of future repairs or replacements.”

Positive: Professionalism
We just finished the fi rst phase of repairs on our front steps and patio,
built from pavers. Joey and Mikey were very skilled at dealing with the
existing steps and did a very thorough repair. The areas they worked
on are good as new. They identifi ed a few additional areas that needed
repair at a modest additional cost beyond the original quote, which was
a good thing as this uncovered an abandoned rodent burrow under the
patio that was causing a lot of settling. The crew was professional and
polite, and cleaned the worksite thoroughly. We are looking forward
to the cleaning/sanding/sealing crew coming soon to fi nish the project
once the adhesives have cured.

Start with appetizers and snacks
• A variety of chips with dips like salsa, guacamole, and spinach artichoke dip.
• Spicy jalapeño peppers stuffed with cream cheese or cheddar cheese and wrapped in bacon.
• Skewers of cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and basil leaves drizzled with balsamic glaze.
• Prosciutto wrapped grilled asparagus. See recipe at junglejims.com, search prosciuttowrapped-grilled-asparagus
Move to the main course
• Provide a selection of beef, turkey, or veggie burgers with an assortment of toppings. “This
time of year, I fire up the grill at least three times a week. Our Prime Cut is a must have. Its beautiful
marbling enhances its flavor and ensures a melt-in-your-mouth experience every time.” - Bob Chaulk,
meat manager at Jungle Jim’s Eastgate
• Serve up classic hot dogs and a variety of sausages like bratwurst, Italian sausage, and chorizo.
• Marinate chicken pieces in your favorite barbecue sauce or spice rub before grilling for juicy,
flavorful chicken.
• Offer a variety of vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, and corn on the cob for
your vegetarian guests or as tasty sides for everyone. “Everyone always thinks of meat when it
comes to grilling season. I personally can’t have steak without freshly sautéed baby bella mushrooms
and sweet vidalia onions.” - Elissa Benner, produce manager at Jungle Jim’s Eastgate
• If you’re a fan of seafood, consider grilling shrimp skewers, salmon fillets, or even whole fish.
See recipe at junglejims.com, search grilled salmon with mustard and herbs.
Side dishes to share
Everyone has their family’s favorite recipe when it comes to side dishes. It could be mac and
cheese, coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans, or something with an international twist—like
Greek feta potato salad—see recipe at junglejims.com, search greek-feta-potato-salad. Invite
guests to contribute, it makes your job easier and lets them feel like an integral part of the party.
Desserts worth indulging
• A s’mores station with graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate.
• Grilled pineapple or peaches served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. See recipe at housetrends.com,
search grilled peaches.
• Indulgent chocolate brownies or blondies.
• A DIY ice cream sundae bar with various ice cream flavors, toppings like hot fudge, caramel
sauce, sprinkles, nuts, and whipped cream.

HEADQUARTERED IN CINCINNATI
Perimeter Technologies has been manufacturing premium, cutting-edge dog fence
safety products since 1993 serving a national network of over 150 Pet Stop dealers.
Wired vs. GPS:
which is best for your pet?
Dear Fellow Pet Owners,
In the evolving world of pet containment, an ongoing debate persists between
traditional wired systems and GPS technology.
With an extensive national dealer network and 30+ years of experience
in the fi eld, we’ve witnessed the merits and drawbacks of both approaches
fi rsthand. We want to share why wired pet containment systems are the
best choice for keeping your dogs safe and happy.
Wired fence basics:
• Tried-and-true wired electronic pet
fences employ an underground wire
linked to a transmitter.
• This setup emits a coded radio signal
to a lightweight collar worn by your
pet, establishing a reliable boundary
crucial for effective training and containment.
GPS fence concerns:
• Unreliable boundaries: GPS fences
lack the consistency of wired systems,
potentially confusing your pet and
compromising the effectiveness of
training.
• Limited battery life: GPS fences suffer
from a shorter battery life (less than
24 hours) compared to their wired
counterparts, increasing the risk of a
dead battery, and jeopardizing your
pet’s safety.
• Spatial constraints: GPS fences aren’t
recommended for smaller properties
due to their unpredictable boundary
lines and susceptibility to signal interference.
• Financial considerations: GPS fences
are significantly more expensive than
wired fences, particularly in the DIY
space, often requiring ongoing monthly
fees.
When selecting a safe and reliable
solution that distinguishes itself in the
pet containment landscape, we wholeheartedly
recommend our Pet Stop Dog
Fence Experts’ wired systems. What
sets us apart is our 100% containment
guarantee, providing unparalleled, consistent
safety and security for your pet.
If you’re ready to check out the safest
and most reliable containment solution,
reach out to your local Pet Stop expert
today. Along with your free estimate
you’ll receive a complimentary one-day
pass to our affiliate RJ WagsPark.
