Choosing the best decking material for your backyard
DECKING PIX
Homeowners have many choices when picking materials for their decks. If they want a traditional look and moderate cost, wood may be the way to go. Those concerned about looks and durability may like composite. People who want very durable and long-lasting may want to give strong consideration to plastic or aluminum materials.
Deck boards and railings can be made from a diverse array of materials, including traditional hardwood, plastic and composite materials.
