Cedar decking offers a deep, rich colour and is naturally resistant to rot and pests. Pressure-treated deck boards are also extremely durable. They cost a bit less than cedar, are better able to resist dents, and can be stained or painted any colour you like. Composite decking is low-maintenance, weather-resistant, and closely resembles the colours and grain patterns of real wood. If you’re planning a raised deck you’ll need to install a deck railing too. Multiple styles are available to suit your outdoor décor including glass deck railings and aluminum deck railings in different colours. You can also mix and match different types of deck balusters, deck posts, and post caps. Solar post lights provide evening ambience and offer an environmentally friendly lighting option. Deck lattice and privacy screens can also help create a cozy atmosphere.
If you’re an experienced DIYer you might want to try your hand at installing a ground-level deck. However, a raised deck must meet various national building codes and local municipal regulations. Contact our Home Installs team find the deck installation option that’s best for you.
