Wood is the finest option if you're looking for authenticity. The most common wood is pressure-treated pine, while cedar, redwood, and exotic hardwoods are more expensive possibilities. There is another type which is composite decking. It is the best way to get the look of wood without staining it. It's constructed of plastic and wood fibers, and you may stain it to modify the color. Thirdly there is plastic decking. It is the best for weather resistance without discoloration. PVC and polyethylene are two options. It's also very light. Toughness, stiffness, and slip resistance are all important characteristics that you can find in aluminum decking. The baked-on or anodized finish should last a long time, and the rough surface provided extra traction in our tests. Sections may interlock to prevent rain from dripping through.
