Types of Decking Materials

Composite Decking

Composite decking combines wood fibers and recycled plastics, offering a durable, low-maintenance solution that resists fading, staining, and mold. Available in various colors and textures, it mimics natural wood while providing superior weather resistance year-round.

Pressure-Treated Wood Decking

Pressure-treated wood decking is affordable and known for its natural beauty. Treated to resist insects, rot, and decay, it offers durability with a classic wood look. Regular staining and sealing help maintain its appearance and protect against weather damage.

Cedar Wood Decking

Cedar wood decking adds rustic charm with its unique grain and pleasant aroma. Naturally resistant to moisture, decay, and insects, cedar provides a durable and elegant outdoor option, though it requires maintenance to preserve its color and appeal.

PVC Decking

PVC decking offers a low-maintenance, weather-resistant choice with excellent durability against scratches, stains, and moisture. With various colors and wood-like textures, it maintains its beauty without warping or fading, ideal for a worry-free outdoor space.

  • Minnesota’s extreme climate requires durable decking materials that can withstand snowy winters and humid summers. Here are the best options:

    Composite Decking: Made from wood fibers and recycled plastic, it resists warping, cracking, and rot. Low maintenance and lasts 25-30 years.

    PVC Decking: Fully synthetic, extremely durable, and virtually maintenance-free. Can last 50+ years.

    Pressure-Treated Wood: Affordable and naturally appealing but requires regular staining and sealing. Lasts 15-20 years with upkeep.

    Cedar or Redwood: Naturally rot-resistant and eco-friendly. Offers a classic look but requires regular maintenance.

    Choose based on your budget, desired maintenance level, and aesthetic preferences. For expert advice, consult ROC Builders.
