What decking materials do you recommend?
3
Premium pressure treated lumber or composite decking such as Deckorators or Trex.
Premium pressure-treated wood is a classic, budget-friendly option that delivers the natural beauty and solid feel of real timber.
The Upside: Lower upfront installation cost, excellent natural stiffness, and complete freedom to stain or paint it any color you choose over time.
The Trade-Off: Wood requires ongoing maintenance—including regular washing, sealing, or staining every 1–3 years—to prevent splintering, warping, and weathering from rain and sun.
Composite decking is a modern, high-performance material engineered for long-term durability and minimal upkeep.
The Upside: Virtually maintenance-free with zero staining or sanding required, highly resistant to rot and insect damage, splinter-free for bare feet, and backed by 25+ year warranties against fading.
The Trade-Off: Higher initial material investment, requires tighter framing support underneath, and gets warmer under direct summer sun than natural wood.
