Choosing the Best Wood for Your Deck
Not all wood is created equal when it comes to building a long-lasting and durable deck. While pressure-treated wood is a common choice, it may not be the best option for longevity and maintenance. Heres a breakdown of superior wood options and why pressure-treated wood may not be the right investment for your project.
Best Wood Options for Decking
• Cedar – Naturally resistant to rot and insects, with a rich, natural color and low maintenance.
• Redwood – Strong and durable, resists warping, and offers a deep red tone that enhances curb appeal.
• Ipe (Brazilian Hardwood) – Extremely dense, lasts 40+ years, highly resistant to scratches and moisture.
• Cumaru (Brazilian Teak) – Durable and weather-resistant with a beautiful golden-brown tone.
• Mahogany – Stable, weather-resistant, and provides an elegant, high-end finish.
• Composite Decking – Made from recycled materials, requires little maintenance, does not splinter, and has a long lifespan.
Why Pressure-Treated Wood is Not the Best Choice
• Short lifespan – Prone to warping, cracking, and rotting within a few years.
• High maintenance – Requires frequent staining, sealing, and repairs. Chemical treatments
