Decking 101: Choosing the Right Material for Your Outdoor Space
Planning to build a deck? Your material choice affects cost, durability, maintenance, and style.
Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:
1. Pressure-Treated Lumber:
Affordable and widely available, but requires regular staining or sealing.
2. Composite Decking:
Low-maintenance and long-lasting. Ideal for homeowners who want style without upkeep.
3. PVC and Capped Polymer:
Ultra-durable and moisture-resistant, great around pools or wet areas.
4. Exotic Hardwoods:
Beautiful, dense woods like Ipe or Tigerwood offer a luxury finish but come with a higher cost.
5. Aluminum & Custom Railings:
Add visual appeal and safety with sleek, weather-resistant rail systems.
