Treated Pine:
| This type of lumber is stronger than cedar and is the most common type of decking
material. Treated pine lumber is also the least expensive type of deck that Parko Home Restorations builds
because the lumber cost less than cedar or Trex. Treated pine lumber will shrink and warp much more than cedar because of
the chemicals used to process the lumber. |
| Cedar:
| Cedar decks are
the top of the line wood decks that Parko Home Restorations produce. With cedar lumber you get
very little shrinkage or warping of the lumber. Cedar is usually dry when we install the deck which reduces
the shrinking factor. Cedar decks cost approximately 25% more than treated pine decks because of the lumber only, both decks
are normally built the same. |
| TREX/Composite | Trex decks are
normally built with Trex as the decking material and we use cedar railing.
Trex is a wood-plastic composite
made primarily from equal parts of reclaimed hardwood sawdust and recycled polyethylene plastic. Trex decking need very
little care, this makes it a great choice for those that want a low maintenance deck. Trex decks
cost approximately 15-20% more than cedar decks. |

“Remodeling Magazine recently reported that adding a composite deck will give a homeowner
a 105 percent rate of return,” he noted. “They will never devalue the home, and they’re maintenance-free.

______________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ Inspecting
for Decay Exposure to sun, wind and rain tends to open wood grain. The result is a higher moisture content which supports
the growth of wood-destroying organisms. Nearly all wood decays if it remains moist for long periods. Check for decay and
insect damage with a screwdriver. Wood has lost nearly all its load-carrying capacity when you can push a common screwdriver
blade into the grain. Deck flooring needs to be replaced when it sags under foot traffic. Check the crawl space under
the porch or deck for signs of dampness. Condensation forms on the underside of an elevated porch or deck when there isn't
proper ventilation. Replace decayed framing with treated lumber. Give particular attention to posts that are in contact
with concrete. Posts should be replaced when heavily decayed. Support the new post slightly above the porch floor with a post
anchor. Embed the post anchor in concrete to help protect the porch roof from uplift wind forces. If a decayed post
is strictly ornamental, consider cutting off the decayed base. Replace the decayed portion with a wood block secured to the
concrete with a pin and a washer. Add base trim to conceal the patch. Keep trim pieces slightly above the concrete so moisture
can escape.
Choices in Porch and Deck Floor Plank Western red cedar and redwood are naturally decay-
and insect-resistant. The cost is higher than pressure-treated lumber, especially in areas remote from the west coast of the
U.S. and Canada, where western red cedar and redwood are milled. For decks, use either construction common or construction
heart redwood. "Merch" redwood is a lower grade ("merchantable") and has more knots and sapwood. Heart
redwood is cinnamon-red and has more natural decay-resistance. The sapwood is creamy yellow. The most common widths are 4
inches and 6 inches. Lengths are usually 8, 12 and 16 feet. Both 5/4 inch and nominal 2 inch thickness are available. When
left unfinished, both redwood and cedar turn a rustic gray after a few years. Apply water-repellent or stain to retard the
color change. We don't recommend varnishes and other film-forming coatings, which will crack and peel on a walking surface.
Both western red cedar and redwood are relatively soft and can be abraded under foot traffic. Pressure-treated lumber
makes sturdy and durable deck material. Most treated lumber sold for decking measures 5/4 inches (1-1/4 inches) or nominal
2 inches thick and from 4 inches to 6 inches wide. Lengths are from 8 feet to 16 feet. Shorter lengths and narrower widths
cost less per square foot of deck. Longer and wider pieces cost more but require less labor for installation. Pressure-treated
wood decking costs less than other decking materials but should be fastened with galvanized nails or screws. All hangers and
fasteners should be hot-dipped galvanized, such as Simpson Zmax. For 2-inch lumber, use 12d nails or 3-inch screws. For 5/4-inch
decking, use 10d nails or 2-1/2-inch screws. Most pressure-treated lumber isn't pretty. It comes from the lumber yard
tinted green from the residue of the ACQ (alkaline copper quaternary) or CA (copper azol) treatment. Soft areas in the wood
absorb more stain than the harder portions. The result is a mottled appearance that won't win any prizes. Exposure to
the sun and rain will fade the deck from green to honey to gray after a few years. Unless deck lumber has been coated already
(Thompsonized), apply a water-repellant top coat immediately after installation.
Choices in Floor Planks
__________________________________________________________________________ All
wood deck requires occasional maintenance. Check for splits, warping, popped nails and splinters. Unless the you like
the look of aged wood, you will need to apply a coat of sealer every few years. Synthetics include composites
made from a combination of recycled wood fiber and recycled thermoplastics. These products (Fiberon is one name) look like
real wood and have characteristics like real wood. For example, composites don't expand and contract as much as thermoplastics.
But composites made from wood fiber will absorb moisture and tend to age like real wood. You can cut or drill composites with
an ordinary hand drill or hand saw equipped with a carbide tip blade. Composites can be stained or painted and should never
require maintenance. Deck planks made from rice hulls (Edeck®) are stronger than other composites and don't absorb
moisture like deck lumber made from wood fiber. Edeck® requires installation with T-clips that permit expansion and contraction
as the deck material heats and cools. Some synthetics tend to be more slippery than real wood, especially when wet.
Another
choice is the solid core PVC type plank (Veka Deck). This product is approved for Marine applications as it does not absorb
the heat from the sun and is not slippery when wet. Solid core PVC is a no maintenace type plank.
