What type of decking material would suit for my home?

Jul 28 , 2021
A deck is a wonderful addition to your home and ramps up your yard’s fun. It is an area to entertain, to relax and to enjoy the space you have created. Therefore, it is important to understand how to choose the right material before you start building.
Wooden Decking
Timber for decking comes in many different types and colors, and there is something to suit every budget. They add warmth to your outdoor living area and look fantastic.

Pressure-treated wood, which is the most common and affordable decking choice. It is a great choice for bigger decks and smaller budgets. This is usually southern pine or fir which treated with chemical to withstand decay, fungi and termites. Pressure-treated wood is easy to work with, lightweight and versatile, making it also a good option for D.I.Y. installation. But pressure-treated wood requires yearly sanding, painting or oiling for lasting results.
Weather-resistant lumber like redwood or cedar. Apart from a beautiful look and feel, these woods have better resistance to weather and will last many years with proper care. They cost more than pressure-treated lumber.
Tropical hardwoods, like Ipe, Ironwood and Teak etc, are beautiful, durable and naturally rot-resistant. They can last 20-30 years with yearly sanding, oiling and regular sealing, but can be very expensive.
The life span of wood is limited when it is used in outdoor applications. Regardless of the type of lumber you choose, it will require a fair amount of maintenance. Both softwood and exotic wood will fade, warp, crack and create splinters over time. This will mean staining and sealing your deck regularly.
