For years, outdoor living spaces have been one of the hottest trends in home improvement projects. However, the past few months have shown that they are not a trend, but an absolute necessity. Homeowners have spent the majority of their spring and summer at home, and by all accounts, fall will bring more of the same, which is why you owe yourself a trip to Sequoia Out Back.

The 30,000-square-foot showroom has no comparison on the East Coast. The website doesn’t even do it justice. An in-person visit feels like you are walking through a vision board of your favorite clippings and pins. It’s the perfect spot to forget about the news in the world and daydream about the things you could be enjoying in your own backyard.

 “People will come to check our showroom out just for the experience,” owner John Keller says. “There’s nothing like it anywhere, so it’s worth the trip for sure. No one who makes a long trip to get here is ever disappointed.”

Sequoia Supply—one of the premier retailers  of decking and railing products in the country—opened in 1998 and 10 years later it evolved into Sequoia Out Back, offering everything imaginable for outdoor living.

Dozens upon dozens of displays are set up in the showroom complete with decking, railings, furniture and a faux-blue sky overhead to give customers a genuine feeling about the products. The goal of the showroom was to make it as life-like as possible. Displays are the size of the decks you would build in your own backyard to help customers get a good idea of how it will look and feel on their own home.  

The showroom has been updated with the latest and greatest products on the market. In terms of decking, Sequoia works with all of the leading manufacturers—such as Trex, TimberTech, Wolf, Zuri and Fiberon—who continue to develop different styles and dazzling  colors. Keller is also excited about the new composite boards being offered that are closer in price to pressure-treated wood.

 “Trex and TimberTech came out with new composites at a lower price point that we have installed in our showroom. In addition to  Image courtesy of Trex being aesthetically pleasing, homeowners are drawn to these composites because there’s a lot less maintenance than with pressuretreated wood,” he adds.

Once finished, Sequoia has all of the amenities and furnishings for your deck or patio.

That includes beautiful furniture from popular brands in all price points like Gensun, Tropitone, Winston, Lane Venture, Pride, Woodard and many more. Fire pits and outdoor kitchens continue to be in demand for outdoor living spaces, and all of the necessary components can be found at Sequoia, such as a full line of grills and smokers. No outdoor space is complete without a shade element,  and Sequoia has you covered with pergolas that not only add relief from the sun but an attractive design element as well.

The pandemic has resulted in some supply chain issues as most manufacturers shut down, and now demand has increased as people are working on these spaces. To avoid any delay in their project, customers are encouraged to put their orders in as soon as possible. 

Sequoia welcomes customers of every type, from those looking to start a DIY project to those who have been sent by their contractor to make product selections. A knowledgeable  and friendly staff is on hand to answer any and all questions.

 “We can handle products for any scale of project, from a full backyard design like the one pictured above—with everything from the decking, pavers, pool house amenities and all of the furniture—to a simple deck on the back of a townhome where a family can enjoy a meal together,” Keller says. “Most people need help and we are here to guide each one every step of the way. Backyards are big right now—everybody wants to be outside. We want to help them get the relaxing space they desire.”
