San Antonio Wood Decks
If you are building a New Wood Deck or just resurfacing an existing one, you want something that is attractive, easy to maintain and cost effective
A wood deck can be painted or stained, giving you a look of the life of your deck surface. The use of wood in deck construction has become more popular with the introduction and availability of various types of weather and rot resistant lumber. Such products have made deck construction and maintenance easier and less expensive than before.
Some of the wood choices available on the market include:- Cedar - This domestic wood has a greater natural resistance to wood rot and to some insects than most wood varieties. These are relatively soft woods, are easy to work and are often used for deck surfaces, railings and trim.
- Treated Lumber - Treated lumber is impregnated with various types of rot resisting chemicals. Most of the material sold today is treated with chemicals that have a relatively low toxicity. There are various types of treated lumber. Some are designed for the most demanding areas, those with ground contact. Others are smooth surfaced and designed for deck surfaces and other visible locations - "appearance grade" products. Treated lumber can last for decades with relatively little maintenance and repairs. The decking should be coated with a penetrating finish in order to reduce wood cracking.
Put the finishing touch on your deck project with deck railing accessories. From classic wood Balusters to round or aluminum balusters, will complement the architecture of your deck.
