Skirting installed underneath a deck serves multiple functions, enhancing both practicality and aesthetic appeal. Various types of skirting materials, such as wood, composite, vinyl, or lattice, can effectively keep the environment out while providing a finished look.

One primary purpose is to screen off unsightly storage items, ensuring that tools, outdoor furniture, or gardening supplies remain hidden yet easily accessible. This not only maintains a tidy appearance but also protects items from the elements.
