Outdoor Lighting Enters New Era

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 5, 2007 -- MANASSAS, VA, November 5, 2007 -- Security and safety can be beautiful! This is the heart of Backyard America’s DecoRiserTM -- an innovative new outdoor stairway illumination system. Backyard America, a one-stop superstore of outdoor living structures, announced today that they are currently awaiting the issuance of a US Patent for a device used to illuminate stairways by putting a light source behind decorative cutouts cut into boards that are used as the riser or tread of a stairway.

Conceived and designed by Ernie Sears, founder and president of Backyard America, the DecoRiserTM is different and better than outdoor stairway lighting systems that are currently available. The fixture itself is integrated into the stair riser boards or stair treads, making it much easier to conceal the wiring and to provide better physical protection for the light source. It can be used with new construction or retrofitted to existing stairs. The light openings are broad and decorative, with several styles and sizes available, providing a wider spread of light than other stair or railing mounted fixtures. Manufactured from exterior grade materials, the DecoRiserTM is suitable for all outdoor stairways for decks and porches including those in marine environments.

Backyard America, a family owned business with production and retail facilities in Manassas, Virginia, was recently named as one of the fastest growing privately owned companies by Inc. Magazine. In addition to building thousands of decks, porches and sunrooms in Northern Virginia, Backyard America has been a pioneer in marketing outdoor structures over the Internet. Vinyl pergolas, railing, gazebos, and fence as well as other outdoor products are offered through the company's websites and store at http://www.backyardamerica.com or toll free number: (877) 489-8064.
