Window or Not?

Enclosing the space under our deck for storage (see pics)..

The door will be a white carriage style barn door (see pic below - in white) and will slide to the right.

QUESTION: should we install a window on the right side of the space we are enclosing?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Yes - install a window

No - don't install a window; leave it the way it is and add landscaping.

Other - please comment below

Unless you install a window, you've just built a cave.

Note - there will be another entrance - on the far right side, facing the woods. This entrance will not be visible from the location where these pics were taken.

Are you getting doors like the sample one you pictured that has windows up top? If not like Joseph said a cave.. i think I’d put a window in anyway ..

"Unless you install a window, you've just built a cave."

So you would then have a cave with two entrances.

Are you having lighting in the storage area. Then for security reasons I would not install a window. You don't need a window for prying eyes to see what you have in there. We have a storage area like yours under a 3 season room. We frosted the glass in the door when we moved in . It's not like a room in a home were you are in it daily. When we do need to access an item with a flick of a switch we have light.
