Pros & Cons of Composite vs. Wood Decking in Canada
Decks & Fences
Introduction
One of the biggest decisions when building a deck is choosing between composite decking and wood decking. Each material has its advantages and drawbacks. Let’s compare them to help you decide.
Composite Decking
Pros: Low maintenance, highly durable, resistant to moisture & pests, long lifespan.
Cons: Higher upfront cost, limited color customization compared to wood.
Wood Decking
Pros: Classic natural look, customizable stain colors, lower initial cost.
Cons: Requires regular maintenance, can rot or warp over time, susceptible to termites.
What’s Best for You?
If you prefer a low-maintenance, long-lasting solution, composite decking is ideal.
If you love natural wood aesthetics and don’t mind maintenance, wood decking may be the better choice.
