The Problem with Traditional wood plank Decking:
-
Warping Woes: Pressure-treated wood is highly susceptible to warping due to the treatment process, where wood is saturated with chemicals and water. As the wood dries unevenly, it leads to warping, bowing, cupping, and twisting. This issue isn't just a one-time occurrence; it continues each time the wood gets wet.
-
Maintenance and Installation: While pressure-treated wood is relatively simple to install, you may not have consistent gapping once the boards have dried out, and it adds a lot of stress for your fasteners to keep the boards down.
-
Susceptibility to the Elements: Despite being treated, pressure-treated decking is still wood, meaning it can be susceptible to the elements.
