Wood decks are the most natural looking, eco-friendly and affordable. Depending on the wood species and treatment (i.e. pressure treated), the features profile will change. For example, cedar planks are more resistant to rot and last much longer than pressure-treated pine, and have a natural look that weathers much nicer than with the softer, more brittle pine.
Composite decks are the easiest and headache free option for decks. Although the upfront cost may potentially be costlier than that of wood, the fact that it can last decades with proper maintenance makes the value go up. With a simple hose down with soapy water, spot cleaning and visual inspections of areas needing repair, you’ll likely be able to enjoy your composite deck for the remainder of the time you live at or own the property. Composite decking, because of its combination of synthetic PVC or vinyl components with wood fibers, won’t have the tendency to warp or rot like all-natural wood planks.
Rail options are something to consider along with your deck. For a seamless look, using the same material as the floor planks makes sense. In other cases, if you want an unobstructed view of the yard or space, you may consider glass underneath the rail. We’ll let you know what makes sense for your preference and space.
