Often, total cost is the most common factor involved in choosing a deck material since the cost depends not only on decking material itself, but also on additional features like steps, railings, lights, deck skirting etc.
Moreover, there are many other factors that should be considered before building a deck. Whether you are building deck by yourself or hiring a professional company to do it, factors such as aesthetics, deck material warranties, workability, longevity, bug resistance, mold or water resistance are there to guide you to make a right selection.
While structure/ frame of the deck can be built out of pressure-treated wood and even steel deck framing material, the surface or top of the deck can be any deck material of your choice. With every project, we see more and more homeowners who prefer low to no maintenance decking materials for their outdoor living spaces. Preference of composite and PVC decking materials escalate over classic building materials such as cedar and pressure-treated wood, which require maintenance (staining, sanding and resurfacing) every other year.
From simple to premium, the decking material you choose defines your deck as well as shapes your budget.
