The least expensive way to build a pool deck is with concrete deck blocks, pressure-treated lumber, and the appropriate hardware for hanging joists and securing deck boards. With these basic yet durable deck materials, you'll have a pool deck that's built to last without the high price tag. You should also stain or seal the deck to protect it against the elements.

Yes. Composite decking is resistant to moisture and freezing temperatures, so it’s an ideal material to use in particularly cold or damp seasons. You can install this type of decking throughout the year since it does not warp or split in the cold.

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

• Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

• Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

• Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

• Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.

Both a well-constructed deck and a patio can add value to your home. Patios are generally cheaper to build but don’t offer the same aesthetics as a quality deck. Therefore, decks can be more appealing to buyers than patios, increasing a home's resale value.
