So, you've decided it's finally time to build that deck you've been dreaming about for your backyard, but you're afraid it's a big leap. Plus, according to Landscaping Network, the average deck size is between 300 and 400 square feet, so it's a big decision. Now comes the big question -- what material should you use to build it? Composite decking has become an increasingly popular choice in recent years. Here's why you should consider it for your new outdoor hangout space.
Composite decking is designed to be super durable and last well against the elements. Unlike real wood, it won't easily warp, crack, or splinter over time. The composites are made from mixtures of recycled wood fibers, plastics, and other polymers. This makes them resistant to moisture, fading, and insect damage. No more dealing with constant staining or treating real timber to keep it looking good! The composite decking will maintain its color and integrity for many years to come.
You want to actually use and enjoy your deck, not work on it all the time, right? Composite decking is ultra-low maintenance compared to traditional wooden decks. It won't gray and weather like real wood. And it never needs sanding, staining, or painting! Just an occasional soap and water cleaning is all it takes to keep your composite deck looking fresh. You'll spend more time relaxing and entertaining on your maintenance-free deck.
While composite decking is generally more expensive upfront than real wood, it's a smart long-term investment. There are no ongoing expenses for preservation treatments and repairs that wooden decks require over time. In our experience, your composite deck will look great and require almost no upkeep for 20 to 25 years! You can't put a price on the time you save by not having to clean and maintain a real wood deck. The
composite deck is well worth the initial cost.
Composite decking offers the beauty of real wood without all the hassle. If low maintenance, durability, and customization are important to you, composite is the way to go. You'll love entertaining and relaxing on your gorgeous new deck for years to come!
