- Wood decking lends authenticity to the project. Most wood decks are made of pressure treated pine, but other, more costly options include redwood, cedar, and tropical hardwood. If not properly maintained, a wood deck can stain, crack, and change color over years of exposure to the elements.
- Composite decks Virginia Beach offers the right look without the need for excessive maintenance being close to the saltwater. This type of decking is made from a combination of wood fiber and plastic, and it may be stained to change the look. However, some types are not as resistant to stains, slips, and mildew, and most are more costly and heavier than wood decking.
- Plastic decking is ideal for low-maintenance applications, and the most common choices include polyethylene and PVC. Some types look cheap, some are slippery, and all tend to sag.
- Aluminum decking is rigid, tough, and slip-resistant. The finish can last for decades, but it can be expensive—and there’s no way to make it look less industrial. However, an aluminum deck may be great to use with a nearby above-ground pool because it offers increased traction and corrosion resistance.
