Material considerations Decks can be built out of a variety of materials, which fall into several main categories:.. Wood with natural rot resistance Wood chemically treated for rot resistance Synthetic materials made to resemble wood.

Type of Lumber	Material	Description	Maintenance
Naturally rot resistant wood	Cedar, Redwood, Cypress	Aesthetically pleasing, structurally strong woods. Naturally resistant to dry rot. Easier to work with than treated (or pressurized) wood, but easy to dent and mark up since they are soft. Use middle and high-grades of wood, as the lowest grades will not stand up well to warping and weather.	Wood will need to be refinished occasionally to keep it resistant to moisture, insects and sun damage.
Chemically treated, or pressurized, wood	Pine or Fir treated with chemical preservatives	Treated woods are less expensive than natural woods, and are artificially resistant to decay. Be sure to check on the type of chemical that is used, as poisons such as arsenic can be hazardous to human and environmental health. Look for a label that indicates the wood is kiln-dried.	Treated woods may need to be resealed annually.
Synthetic lumber	Plastic, Vinyl, Wastewood and Rubber (many use recycled materials)	Recycled plastic from milk jugs and grocery bags are used for plastic lumber. It comes in a variety of colors, and does not need painting. Vinyl lumber is similar to plastic and comes in white and other colors. Wood-polymer lumber is made from waste wood and recycled plastic and resembles wood in appearance. It can be stained or painted. Newly available rubber lumber is made of plastic and old tires. It is durable and stands up to water, insect and sun damage. It’s only available in three colors, and the color is not guaranteed to last.	Synthetic lumber is relatively maintenance free, other than occasional washing.
