In the last few years, the system of decking options has exponentially grown, each with its own esthetics, maintenance, and price range in a construction company. If you plan to build a wooden deck, you may have noticed it has been much harder than ever to choose a decking material. Just a few years ago wood, perhaps of two or three species, was the only option. Documentary materials, including composite wood, plastic covering, and wood import, are currently available.

Selecting the Best Material for Your New Deck
Before you begin any rebuilding work, you should consider the condition of the existing wood deck. What is its age? Is it relatively new? Or has it begun to rot and must now be replaced? These questions are crucial because the latter can directly impact the former when you begin placing new materials above existing decks.
Pressure-Treated Lumber is an Affordable Option
This all-green wood is the number one coating material sold today, which is unbelievable in that pressure-treated coating (PT) is affordable, relatively durable, coast-to-coast readily available, and almost any color easy to bleed.
PT decking, however, also requires more maintenance than most other covering materials. An annual power wash and then a new coat of external stain or clear wood preservative every two or three years are required if the deck is to continue to live and look. PT decking can be processed chemically, so maintenance is not free.
Composites Boards
The most rapidly growing covering materials sold today are composite decks and their close cousin PVC decks. Composite decking consists of recycled plastic mixed with wood dust molded into long, dense boards. PVC (polyvinyl) deck is made of 100% plastic, also known as a synthetic deck; no wood binders.
Wood-based composite covers cost twice or three times more than wood-based composites, and PVC covers between 10 and 15% more than wood-based composites.
Redwood and Cedar
Redwood and westerly red cedar are the next most popular wood covering options. Both these western softwoods have a rich color, a natural beauty, and a lack of chemical or preservative pumping to their fullest prize. Tannins and oils, which resist redness, drowsiness, and voracious insects are present in both wood species.
Tropical Hardwoods
Redwood and west-red cedar are the next most popular wood covering options. Both these western softwoods have a rich color, natural beauty and are not pumped full of chemical or preservative products. The tannins and oils of both wood species are natural to rotten, decaying and voracious insects.
Stay-Cool Option with Aluminum
You probably think now: aluminum doesn’t get hot in the sun? Especially because of its superior thermal dissipation properties, the aluminum deck is actually cooler than most decking types. Dense materials, like wood and composites, tend to absorb heat and keep it for longer periods of time and to create hot surfaces.
Who can I trust in my deck project?
The best place to begin your search for a deck contractor is online or through a recommendation from a friend. Decks.com rates contractors across the United States based on their previous customers’ experiences. Most well-known deck builders now have their own websites that include an overview of their qualifications as well as images of their work. This will allow you to assess their abilities before contacting them. If you want to design your own deck for this project, there is also an instructional website you can visit, or you can hire professional deck builders or a patio contractor with expertise in deck projects.
