Welcome to the Deck, Porch & Patio Channel, a BobVila.com Web Site.
Decks, porches, and patios are like outdoor rooms, with flooring, siding, décor, and finishes of their own. Read about weather-resistant materials, decking options, construction considerations, and upkeep. Learn about pavers, bricks, stones, and concrete for patios and walkways. Create shade zones and channel outdoor breeze for indoor ventilation using plantings, trees, and shrubbery. Complete it with a hot tub or pool, a new fence or gazebo, and you’ve got outdoor living at its best.
 | High-End Deck Materials
Eighty-five percent of all single-family homes have a deck or deck-like structure. The vast majority of these decks are made from pine and pressure-treated pine varieties. Many of these homes will replace that deck within ten years. High-end decking like cedar, redwood, and mahogany give homeowners beautiful long-lasting performance coupled with eye-catching beauty and elegance.
