How to Protect Your Deck from the Sun

August 6th, 2020|Deck Care & Repair|

A beautiful custom wood deck is an investment that pays for itself in two ways: through the decades of enjoyment it provides, and through the value it adds to your home. Making your deck last a lifetime starts with high quality, all-natural wood products like we use here at DeckTec. It fairs far better than composite decking, especially here in Colorado, where the elements can be harsh. The sun is a particularly intense in our state, and 300 days of high altitude sunshine a year will do a number on any deck — even if it’s made with the best decking material in the world. At DeckTec Outdoor Designs, our Colorado deck builders don’t just set it and forget. We’re here to help you maintain your deck’s natural beauty for decades to come. In each phase of your deck’s life, from concept and creation to upgrades and maintenance, there are ways [...]

While real wood is the best decking material, it can still suffer damage in a serious hailstorm. Hail can leave pockmarks in your wood deck, resulting in chipping and fraying on the surface of your deck. Hail can also break through the stain on your deck, breaking [...]
