Most modern homes have a deck or patio, but many are made from the traditional selections of lumber. What many homeowners don't realize is that composite decks may be the best option, especially for those with families. From safety to extra space for family time, a custom fabricated deck has many advantages over other decking options. Take a look below to learn more.
Composite decks may be safer
Wooden decks are beautiful and add value to a home, but they can present some safety issues for young children. Aside from the obvious risk of splinters, wood decks can rot over time because of weather exposure and basic wear and tear. Because of this, it could pose the threat of loose stairs, wobbling railing, and weak boards, all of which could lead to harmful accidents involving family members.
