Q: What is the life expectancy of a PVC deck?

• <div><p>A quality, well-maintained PVC decking can last 30 to 50 years. It&rsquo;s known for being one of the most durable <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-decks.htm">types of decking</a> materials, with composite decking having a 25- to 30-year average lifespan and some softwood deckings only lasting 10 to 15 years. Luxury hardwood decks like Ipe may last longer than PVC decking, but they can cost more and require more maintenance.</p></div>

Q: Should deck boards be nailed or screwed?

• <div><p>When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.</p></div>

Q: What decking material is best?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/good-material-key-long-lasting-decks.htm">best material for your deck</a> depends on several factors, including your budget, location, aesthetic preferences, and the level of maintenance you&rsquo;re willing to do. Wood decking, like redwood, ipe, cedar, and pine, lasts the longest, but it&rsquo;s more expensive and requires more upkeep than composite and synthetic decking. </p></div>

Q: What do you put down before decking?

• <div><p>Before installing a deck, you must build a base for the deck to rest upon, often made of compacted soil or gravel. While gravel is an optional material, it helps with drainage. Some contractors also recommend installing a weed control membrane, which helps provide a solid foundation for the frame. In the case of an elevated deck, a pro will often lay down a concrete slab as a foundation. </p></div>

Q: How do I prepare the ground under the deck?

• <div><p>Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home&rsquo;s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-i-regrade-around-my-house-foundation.htm">regrades the dirt under the deck</a>, you then can add materials over the top.</p></div>
