Decking

Decking in simple words is attaching a timber or a ship wood to your house, there are different kinds of places you can do decking on, like your roof, your balcony floor, your house floor, your garden and so on.

Materials of decking

● Pressure-treated wood: The pressure treated wood is a low-cost decking material and it's quite famous because of the price and it’s built the way that it doesn't rot easily and it also keeps the insects away from eating the wood. Now this itself can last for decades so you don't have to worry about charging them too often. Although you need to make sure that refinishing of the deck is done once a year.

● Cedarwood: This one almost looks super natural and beautiful, it's just a little bit more expensive than the pressure wood which still makes it cheap and affordable. Many people do their own decking with this wood only because of how easy it is to work with. It will be good and won't rot before a decade or 2.

● Redwood: This one is for sure expense, it's really lightweight and durable. It's not so common decking because of the price but yeah it's really good and looks good on the floor. If you take care of it will probably last a decade or 2 easily.
