Types of Decks
You have a plethora of options when
choosing a new deck. Often though you are restricted by the
slope of your property, any pool or ponds in your yard, and of
course the needs of your family. Here is a general list of what
types of decks are the most popular in North America, and what
you should expect from them.
Above Ground Pool Deck
These decks are almost essential if you
have an above ground pool. They make entering and exiting the
pool a breeze, (a lot like an underground pool). They also make
your entire back yard safer. Your pool will be protected from
breaks and your family won't be at risk to falling off out of
the pool.
Wood Deck
Obviously the traditional deck. Wood
deck are the classic choice and are easily the most comfortable
option. Using wood also gives you unlimited design options.
Plus, you can paint or stain the deck as much as you like, thus
suiting it to any season or changing exterior of your home.
Composite Deck
The composite deck could be the most
exciting new innovation in deck material. Half wood, half
polymer, the composite deck has all the strength and durability
of a vinyl deck with the aesthetic appeal of a wooden deck. It
also won't splinter and it lasts a long time.
Roof Deck
Hey, not all of us live in the suburbs
with a beautiful sprawling backyard. Urban townhouses often
suffer from lack of backyard space, but vertically they have far
more options. You can build a rooftop deck in most townhouses
and apartment buildings. You could also incorporate a small
garden. Just make sure that you have a secure railing to prevent
any dangerous falls. Sun Bathe Away!
Vinyl Deck
Truly the deck that the space age built
vinyl decks are affordable, durable and they last forever. You
never need to stain or paint them. They come in just about any
color you could imagine. They also work like real wood, so you
don't have to buy any new tools in order to install one in your
back yard. Your splinter free family will thank you for the
vinyl deck.
Synthetic lumber Recycled
plastic from milk jugs and grocery bags are used for plastic
lumber. It comes in a variety of colors, and does not need
painting. Vinyl lumber is similar to plastic and comes in white
and other colors. Wood-polymer lumber is made from waste wood
and recycled plastic and resembles wood in appearance. It can be
stained or painted. Newly available rubber lumber is made of
plastic and old tires. It is durable and stands up to water,
insect and sun damage. It’s only available in three colors, and
the color is not guaranteed to last.
