Review of Decking Material Missouri

As a decking material, acomposite excels. Made from virgin or recycled plastic and wood waste, composite is durable, weather-resistant, and virtually maintenance-free. But while those attributes may satisfy your clients' practical side, the product's ersatz appearance may leave some of them feeling a little unsatisfied in Missouri.

As a decking material, acomposite excels. Made from virgin or recycled plastic and wood waste, composite is durable, weather-resistant, and virtually maintenance-free. But while those attributes may satisfy your clients' practical side, the product's ersatz appearance may leave some of them feeling a little unsatisfied. For those consumers, only a wood deck will do.

Architects value the seductive powers of wood more than anyone; that's one of the reasons you spec it. Its random grain patterns are inherently beautiful, and wood can last a long time if properly cared for. “We prefer [Forest Stewardship Council]-certified natural wood for aesthetic and sensory reasons,” says William T. Ruhl, AIA, of Ruhl Walker Architects in Boston. “Natural wood looks better and feels better on bare feet.”

natural selections

Pine and Douglas fir are the most common and inexpensive species used for decks. Doug fir is strong, attractive, and tough. It holds up fairly well to extreme wear and remains level without cracking. Typically pressure-treated to resist weather, rot, and insects, Southern pine's unique cellular structure permits deep penetration of preservatives, providing long-lasting protection, says the Kenner, La.–based Southern Pine Council, a promotional body that represents Southern lumber producers.
