The most simple answer is you should remove your deck once it no longer looks good, or poses a safety risk. Decks can last for a wide range of times. A well-maintained cedar deck can last up to 40 years under ideal conditions, whereas decks made from pressure treated wood which are not well-maintained sometimes only last for 15 years or less. With our harsh Ottawa winters, Over time wood from decks warps, rots, and even splits. If you notice your deck has become damaged, warped, or rotting, it is likely time to knock it down.
