Materials we stand behind
Every product here was chosen for durability, low maintenance and how well it holds up on the water. We'll help you pick the right mix for your budget.
Framing
#2 Pressure-Treated Framing
Structural-grade treated lumber for joists, beams and framing. Rated for ground contact; the standard choice for most decks.
#1 Pressure-Treated Framing
A higher grade with fewer knots and defects, for framing where strength and a cleaner look matter.
Critical Structural (CS) Green Timber
Heavy-duty treated timber built to UC4B standards with about 50% more preservative than standard ground-contact wood. Used for piles and high-load members over water.
Owens Corning Structural Framing
Fiberglass-reinforced composite framing that will not rot, rust or attract insects. Suited to ground and water contact.
Decking
5/4″ × 6″ Pressure-Treated (#1 and #2)
Classic wood decking. The most affordable option, with #1 grade offering a cleaner board.
Wolf Serenity PVC Decking
Cellular PVC with real-wood texture and color variation. Repels moisture, holds its color in the sun and needs very little upkeep.
