If you're planning to add a deck to your home, one of the most important decisions you'll face is choosing the right material. Until recently, pressure-treated lumber was the go-to choice for many. It's easy to repair and work with, making it a long-standing favorite. However, homeowners now have more options than ever.
One of the fastest-growing choices in decking materials is composites. These are made from a mixture of polymer resins and recycled wood fibers, combining the strengths of both. Resins protect the wood from insects and moisture, while the wood elements guard the resin against UV damage, providing stability and traction.
Maintenance is another key factor when selecting decking materials. Some homeowners prefer pressure-treated wood, which can be stained and sealed to personal taste. Composites, on the other hand, come in various colors and require no staining, sealing, or treating. Regardless of the material, regular pressure-washing twice a year is a good practice.
Veranda is a leader in composite decking, offering the beauty of wood without the extensive upkeep. This type of decking installs easily with standard woodworking tools, and it’s designed to resist shrinking, rotting, decaying, splintering, and termite damage. With less maintenance required, you'll have more time to enjoy your deck.
If you decide on composite materials, experts suggest buying all the boards at once. Manufacturing processes can lead to slight color variations, so purchasing in a single batch ensures consistency. Veranda deck boards, like most composites, may have subtle color differences due to natural variations in wood fibers and polymers.
Ultimately, whatever material you choose, the real joy comes from spending time on your deck with family and friends. It's the perfect reward for your hard work.
