Pressure-Treated

Maybe the most sought-after choice for decks, pressure treated wood is one of the best choices for most homeowners.

Pros

Pressure-treated wood, in most instances, is the most affordable choice in the short-run and it has an amazing lifespan. It also is durable enough to deal with moving grills, furniture, and whatever other items you plan on keeping on your deck.

Cons

Such wood may be prone to knots and warping, and also can require constant deck re-staining, maintenance, and repair.

Composite

They’re designed of recycled materials and are increasing in popularity for their minimal maintenance and consistent look.

 Pros

There isn’t any need to be concerned with deck maintenance – most routine cleaning may be handled using a hose. In addition, boards are almost identical and are knot and warp-free.

Cons

Typically, in the short term, composite decking is more expensive, however, the expenses that are saved on deck repair, re-staining, and future cleaning might make composite decking the more affordable long-term choice.

Cedar

There simply isn’t any substitute for high quality, natural wood. But there are a few disadvantages to cedar decks.

Pros

Cedar decks carry unparalleled beauty. Also, boards generally are more warp-free than pressure treated decks, which makes deck repair and installation less of a problem.

Cons

In order to maintain cedar decking’s natural beauty, it must be consistently resealed and cleaned. Even with constant and careful care, these boards usually lose their vibrant appearance quicker than additional materials.
