Is PVC decking slippery when wet?

• <div><p>PVC decking can get slippery when wet because it’s made from plastic. However, composite and wood decking can also be slippery when wet. It’s best to wear shoes with grippy soles when walking on a wet deck, no matter the material, and to be extra cautious not to slip and fall down. </p></div>

Q: Why does my deck pop in extreme cold?

• <div><p>Cold temperatures can make your deck boards contract. If they don&rsquo;t contract evenly, they can put pressure on the deck screws and cause them to pop out, making a noticeable sound. Winterizing your deck can help prevent this from happening. </p></div>

Q: How long should deck boards last?

• <div><p>How long deck boards last largely depends on the type of wood and if it's treated or not. Untreated boards last anywhere from ten to 30 years, assuming proper care and maintenance. Treated boards can last up to 50 years. Composite boards also tend to last longer than pure wood boards.</p></div>

Q: Should deck skirting touch the ground?

• <div><p>Deck skirting shouldn&rsquo;t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.</p></div>

Q: Can I replace just one spindle, or do I need to replace them all?

• <div><p>Yes, you can absolutely replace just one damaged spindle as long as you can find a matching replacement. However, if multiple spindles are damaged or you can't find an exact match, you might consider replacing an entire section for a more uniform look and structural integrity.</p></div>
