If you are thinking about the addition of a new deck onto your home or if you are considering re-decking an existing deck there are a vast number of choices to consider using as your decking material. There are a number of factors to consider when making your decision on what decking material to use. Wood, naturally is a popular choice, but there are materials available to homeowners now that exceed the performance that wood can promise. These include low-maintenance, and long-lasting materials that even come with guarantees to match. Let’s explore the genre of composite and PVC decking to give you the “skinny” on why so many homeowners are making these materials their choice among decking materials.
This photo shows the area before the transformation began.
We recently re-decked and extended a double-deck for homeowners here in Fort Worth, TX which was constructed using TimberTech composite decking in Reliaboard. Reliaboard emulates the look of real wood and offered these homeowners all the benefits of composite decking at an affordable price. Composites such as these won’t crack, splinter, or rot over time like traditional wood decks can. Composites also won’t ever need staining or sealing, just a little soap and water cleanup is the only maintenance necessary to keep this composite deck looking new. Reliaboard also comes with a 25-year limited warranty. TimberTech is among the heavy hitters in the world of composite and PVC decking materials. Other composite and PVC decking manufacturers to add to that lineup are AZEK, Trex, and Fiberon.
These Fort Worth homeowners came to us with the desire to transform their existing double-deck into an area that would enhance their entertaining. They wanted a design that would incorporate a fire pit, as well as a hot tub deck and plenty of room in between to enjoy. Archadeck of Fort Worth came up with the perfect pairing in their design with curvilinear angles that offered a double composite deck with plenty of room for a hot tub and a custom fire pit surrounded by floating benches. We put together a custom 3-dimensional design rendering for the homeowners that met and exceeded their expectations of the anticipated transformation of the area.
This angle shows how well the fire pit and TimberTech deck mingle together beautifully.
We re-decked the homeowners existing decks with TimberTech Reliaboard in Cedar. We also extended the lower deck to incorporate two separate areas , one on either side, for the beautiful custom fire pit and a hot tub deck as well. The results are breathtaking because now the homeowners have the mingled elements of fire and water to enjoy at their discretion which adds to the beauty of this gorgeous, multifunctional, low maintenance pleasure deck. The use of the composite decking was even introduced into the floating benches that surround the fire pit, making the perfect place to roast the perfect s’more.

We have watched composite and PVC decking span to new heights of popularity in the past few years. The main reason behind this is the carefree attributes associated with owning a composite or PVC deck. Composite and PVC decking offers homeowners the luxury of having the look of real wood with minimal maintenance. Along with having a deck that looks great for many years using these materials can ensure that you are protected against mold, mildew and insect damage to your deck, as well as protection from staining.

This particular deck has given these Fort Worth homeowners all they could’ve asked for and more. The unique design incorporated plenty of room for family and friends and the creative design used to house the hot tub and fire pit will add intimacy to the function of these delightful areas. Archadeck of Fort Worth was able to take this space and turn it into a multifunctional outdoor structure that pours beauty, durability, low maintenance and functionality into one area that will bring these homeowners years of carefree enjoyment.
