Composite decks run quite affordable; you can find various options even if you are on a budget. If you want your deck to have the authentic wooden look, but think composite decks won't do the job, you are mistaken as many high-end composite decks have options that have grains that look just like wood. If you live in a warm climate, choose a lighter colour for your deck as darker colours absorb more heat. Always go for good quality material to benefit you in the long run.
