What Material Should You Use For Deck Installation

 A deck is a prized possession for any home – not only does it increase the aesthetics of the outdoors, but also the curb value of the property. Setting up a deck is a long-term investment, and decks made of PVC have a warranty of decades.

Decks do not come cheap, and hence it is necessary that you hire the services of a reputed contractor like deckready instead of taking it as a DIY job. There are many aspects of selecting the right material for a deck based on your budget, your long-term plans, and the look. Let us examine a few of them. 

# Pressure-treated wood is pine that is placed in a chamber and compressed to delay wear and tear. Even though it is cheap, it warps and cracks over the years and hence has a very low long-term value. Good for homeowners on a budget.  

# Traditional wood may be softwood like cedar and redwood, or hardwood like mahogany. These decks are very sturdy and high on looks of rich wood. Has a high price tag but requires an overhaul every 1 -3 years. Best for homeowners willing to invest initially and in long-term maintenance. 

# Composite deck material is made from recycled plastic and wood fibers. These decks are stylish and stand out for their versatility and low maintenance. High cost of material, which is more than made up in cost of maintenance. Deckready will advise you in this regard. 

# PVC decking is made from polymers, very durable, and resistant to moisture. Ideal for homeowners in monsoon-prone climates. Unaffected by insects and rot. Looks like real wood and costs as much as traditional wood.
