Deciding on The Correct Product
At Woodson Lumber we have many vendors that we can get different kinds of decking. Things to consider on decks are price, maintenance, and warranties.
Wood Decks
Lower Price
Higher Maintenance.
Wood decks are gorgeous, but sometimes require a much higher maintenance to keep looking in their prime. Many deck stains now come with sealers and protectors to help keep your wood deck maintained.
We currently carry Ready Seal items that you can purchase online from our store at https://webtrack.woodsonlumber.com/Products.aspx?itemsPerPage=48&sort=Relevance&pg=0&direction=desc&searchText=ready%20seal
Composite Decks
Higher Price
More Options
Lower Maintenance
Composite decks are a great option with no splinters. They generally are higher price and have an abundance of colors and types. They also require less maintenance with no staining and regular upkeep like wood decks.
We have many vendors that we can order composite decking from and have ample brochures and documentation on. We will highlight a few here.
