Deck Building 101
Depending on the landscape of your property and the extensiveness of your deck, a new deck could take a couple of days to a few weeks or even months to construct. Planning appropriately for electrical and gas needs may keep your new deck project on time and on budget.
There are numerous types of deck building materials on the market, all having pro’s and con’s for both weathering and price. The types of deck materials include:
- Pressure Treated Lumber
- Naturally Durable
- Composite Decking
- Synthetic Lumber
- Aluminum Decking
- Sustainable Decking Materials
There are vast differences between materials, costs, and durability. While pressure treated lumber may be the most cost effective, it is chemically treated, which may not be the most eco-friendly option. Composite materials are becoming more and more popular, however they are not ideal for every application. Our guide will help you work through the best option for your project.
Other areas to consider for your deck project are:
- Outdoor Grilling Station
- Bug Control
- Lighting
