Halloween is the perfect time for some spooky fun, but unpredictable October weather can sometimes put a damper on our plans. With DEK Drain’s underdeck drainage system, you can create additional covered space to ensure that the Halloween festivities continue, rain or shine.
So, what lurks below your deck? Thanks to DEK Drain®– mold, mildew, and creepy crawly pests are a thing of the past. Instead, here are a few themed events and activities that become possible with added living and activity space:
- Haunted House Walkthrough: With a few drop sheets, some black lights, and a few creepy costumes, you can transform your underdeck area into a spooky haunted house. Choose your decorations, ramp up the sound effects, and let the ghostly lights flicker. (Just be sure to reward brave souls with some candy at the end of their tour.)
- Pumpkin Carving Station: Tired of mopping the kitchen floors just for Jack O’ Lanterns? Set up a pumpkin carving area at your newly dry underdeck space. Keep the mess contained and ensure everyone stays dry.
- Costume Contest: Host a Halloween costume contest in your backyard. Your newly functional under deck space provides ample room for guests to change and show off their outfits, regardless of the weather.
- Scary Movie Night: Create a cozy outdoor theater under your deck with blankets, pillows, and either a projector (classic) or a 4K flatscreen for a night of classic horror films.
- Halloween Craft Workshop: Organize a community craft station for kids and adults to make Halloween decorations and costumes.
- Spooky Storytelling: Set up a seating area for a ghost story session, complete with eerie lighting and sound effects – and maybe even a S’mores station.
- Fall Harvest Party: Combine Halloween fun with fall festivities, including bobbing for apples, hay bales, and seasonal treats.
With DEK Drain, the space below your deck becomes a versatile holiday hub that you can use throughout the year, not just during Halloween.
