Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Deck
Understand the average lifespan of your particular backyard deck. If your wood deck is pushing 15 years or more, it might have widespread damage, loose nails and fasteners, or even rotting and sagging parts. Composite and PVC decks last for about ten years beyond that.
If your backyard deck is looking worse for wear and threatens your safety if you were to step onto it, it could be time for a deck replacement.

Deck Designs
If you were perfectly content with the former design, Freedom Fence and Deck can replace your deck with the exact same layout as before.
However, it’s also possible for you to start fresh, especially if there are outdoor living needs and wants the deck is not allowing you to fulfill, or, worse, that the deck is not even up to code. Deck designs can be standard or custom, working from a template or designed from scratch to meet your property’s specifications.
Aside from the deck’s supporting structure, you can break a deck design down into these elements:
- Location: The deck could be freestanding or connected off your back door.
- Dimensions: A deck is usually between 300 and 400 square feet, but it could be significantly smaller or larger.
- Elevation: A deck can have a low, mid, or high elevation and have one or more levels. Single and multi-tiered decks have their benefits for different properties.
- Stairs and railings: Stair designs differ depending on the deck’s elevation and the property’s traffic flow. Deck railings can provide more or less visibility for privacy or preserving scenic views.
- Additions: Decks can include pergolas, trellises, hot tubs, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, lighting, and so much more. The right additions can truly complete the deck.
Deck Materials
When you replace your deck, you have the opportunity to work with different materials. Below are the most popular options today, from the least to most expensive:
- Pressure-treated pine: Pine is an affordable deck material that lasts even longer with the help of a preservative chemical infusion.
- Western red cedar: Cedar is known for its longevity, beautiful reddish color, and aromatic preservative oil.
- Ipe: Ipe is a type of tropical hardwood. It is long-lasting due to its density, and features a beautifully dark color.
- Composite: Composite is a combination of recycled wood and plastic fibers. It is a low-maintenance deck material.
- PVC Plastic: Polyvinyl chloride plastic (PVC) decking is 100% vinyl and offers a beautiful, sturdy deck surface that will last a long time.
