There are several common decking materials to consider: Pressure-treated wood – Budget-friendly but requires ongoing maintenance. Composite decking – Low maintenance, long-lasting, higher upfront cost. Hardwoods (e.g., Ipe, Cedar) – Naturally beautiful and durable, but cost more and may need periodic sealing.
Wood decks (e.g., pressure-treated): 15–25 years with proper maintenance. Composite or PVC decks: 25–50 years, depending on the brand of composite.
