Building a new deck is an exciting project that requires specific deck materials. Enjoying the deck for years to come can depend on the quality of the deck materials used. Your deck materials can allow you to do different things with your deck to create a custom look and to be proud of your deck. With some planning and shopping, you can find options that will meet your needs and help you to create a beautiful deck. Deck materials are widely available and can be quite affordable. Wood deck materials may be the most commonly used and are frequently the most economical choice. Pressure treated wood is usually the least expensive of the wood deck materials, yet it lasts a long time and is generally resistant to both insects and weathering. Other types of wood deck materials offer different features while still remaining fairly affordable. For example, if you are looking for a distinctive grain look or a specific color of wood, you can find deck materials that will provide these for you. If you choose wood deck materials for your project it is generally advisable to ensure that the wood is properly treated and stained after installation. A good wood sealant should be applied generally once a year to protect and maintain your wood deck materials. A deck made of quality deck materials and properly protected can last for many years and provide a beautiful accent to your yard. Composite deck materials have also become very popular in many parts of the country. Composite deck materials are usually made of wood particles, wood powder, or other types of wood by-products combined with plastics. With the durability of these deck materials, the lifetime of a deck built from composites is generally considered to be a bit longer than wood. The price for composite deck materials is generally higher than wood materials, but for some homeowners, the look and durability is preferred over wood. Composite deck materials can be easy to work with; however, some manufacturers recommend specific tools. For example, a carbide blade may be needed for your saw in order to effectively cut the boards. Depending on your choice of deck materials, you may have the option to make different selections for the fasteners. There are options that can allow you to hide the fasteners from view. There are also basic installation options such as deck screws that allow for quicker and more cost effective installation. Either of these options can make a difference in the overall look of your deck. During the design and building of your deck you may also consider other materials that can customize your deck. Adding integrated lighting to the stairs of your deck is an option that can provide for safe use of the deck in the evening. You can also add lighting to the deck posts. There are sometimes post caps with integrated lights available. Check for availability in your area. You can also customize your deck with built-in benches using the same materials used for the deck itself.
