Wood decks will take more work to maintain. You will have to plan on regular systems of cleaning, painting and sealing. If your climate is very harsh, you should plan to re-finish the wood every few years also.Wood decks are beautiful, but do require a lot of work to keep them looking beautiful. After time, wood decks will produce splinters if not maintained so barefoot walking might not be an option.With composite materials, you have the benefits of durability, and low maintenance. It does not require painting, staining, or re-sealing.
You should wash it a couple of times a year with a hose. It will hold up against the elements for many years, with little or no maintenance, and no deterioration. You can always walk barefoot on it and never get a splinter.Initial costs for building a deck from wood are much less than for composite. Your upfront costs for installing a composite deck will be more. More material is required for the framing to support the weight of the composite boards. The composite planks are more expensive than wood too, actually quite a bit more.
