The planning stages of deck building are just as important as the actual deck build itself. What does this mean? First off, decide on the proper location. For some customers, it might be as simple as putting it in your backyard immediately adjacent to the kitchen sliding doors. For others with a larger yard, there may be more possible placements. When you contact Milton Fence, we’ll take a look at the area where you want the deck built and ask ourselves - “Is the foundation stable? Is the soil strong? What framing materials are needed? Is the ground even, flat or sloped?” Some complex deck builds we’ve done are balcony decks and hillside decks, so we’ve seen it all and we’ve done it all. Some of the things you as the customer will have to decide on are the style of deck (i.e. horizontal, vertical, diagonal planks, or any additional inlays), rail options and material. In regards to material, most of our clients request wood or composite. We will gladly install different materials, but we will also make a point to educate you on the features, benefits and challenges of each deck material, which we’ll touch on briefly here. |

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.
When you work with Milton Fence, we’ll ensure your preferences for location of the deck install, material and other customization makes sense for your space. We always respect our customers’ wishes, but we also don’t hesitate to chime in with our recommendations if it means a deck that will last longer and stay beautiful.
