Who doesn't want to be outside when the weather's cooperating? Being elevated off the ground brings a whole new perspective and provides a view for relaxation.
There are many no-maintenance materials available at different price points as well as colors and features. No more staining or painting!!
If you want a deck to last, use good quality materials including railings. The big box stores can only offer a certain level of performance and we prefer railings from our friends at Minnesota Vinyl - a local based railing manufacturer.
