Options for a deck - Woodland Deck Company of Ohio

Posted: Jan 21, 2011 |

Serving the greater Akron and Cleveland areas of Northeast Ohio, the operations manager of Woodland Deck Company offers some clarification on deck and decking options.

For decking:

Our first option is wood decking. Most common in this area is Southern Yellow Pine decking that is pressure treated with chemicals to resist decay. Other options in the decking line of soft wood are:
- Western Red Cedar decking
- White Cedar decking
- Redwood decking
These are the most common kinds but soft wood like Cypress and Siberian Larch have also found a place in the market. Long term results vary with all these but all wood decking will require some kind of maintance to improve longetivity and appearance.

There are also hardwood options for decking. Most of these are imported for the Rainforest or Tropical regions
Ipe
Cumaru
Tigerwood
Teak
While the hardwood decking options are good for wear resistance, they do still require maintenance. Also if choosing hardwood decking be sure to verify that the lumber for your deck has been harvested responsibly and that the importers can verify it through documentation.

There is also a wide variety of man made low maintance decking available. Some of the more common in our area would be Trex, Timbertech, Azek Deck, Fiberon, Evergrain and Correct Deck. These will always need less maintenance then an all wood deck. They all will require cleaning but will not require sealing or painting. In our experience we have found that the PVC types of decking require less cleaning than composite types. If this is the product you choose to go with, put in the necessary research on the product qualities and differences as well as the installation instructions. If you prefer to hire a deck builder, these manufacturers will have a list of certified installers.
