Composite Deck Construction
If you’re building a new deck or replacing your old deck, composite is the material we recommend. When it first was created in the ‘90s, it was seen as more of a luxury material but over the years has evolved to be the most popular option on the market. Why is this?
Well, it outlasts the classic wooden deck by 25 to 30 years, has tons of options for customization, and is even environmentally friendly!

Composite is a material made of reclaimed wood and discarded plastics. When combined with heat, it creates a strong decking material that stands up to pests and the elements.

This capping also repels moisture.

The manufacturing process of composite decking is eco-friendly. This product is socially and environmentally conscious and using reclaimed wood means a tree is never cut down for its creation. Picture decking that saves you money over time, lasts for years, and can look any way you can imagine.
Composite decking is a leader in the industry—and rightly so.
Wood decking can provide a beautiful and classic look, and at 512 Outdoor, we have experience installing it as well. However, the advantages of the composite are many. Wood decking has a shelf life of 10 to 15 years, and needs to be power washed and re-sealed every two to three years in this time. The money you save initially won’t count so much when you’re paying for these services.
