Pressure Treated Wood Decks
One of the most popular choices for decking is pressure-treated wood. Pressure treated wood is typically made with Southern Yellow Pine, which has undergone a special process to make it more durable and less susceptible to insect infestation, moisture, mold, and decay. It also is resistant to dents, scratches, and wear. Pressure-treated wood’s extra strength gives it a long lifespan, ensuring that it will last for decades to come with proper care. Another advantage is it’s easy to work with and can be stained or painted any color you desire. Pressure-treated wood is a classic and affordable decking option however it does require yearly maintenance.
