Deck Materials

Do you seek a basic ground-level deck or a multi-level masterpiece? Whatever your plans, count on The Home Depot to help you find the deck that suits your home, your needs and your budget. Here's a quick look at what we offer.

SOLID WOOD

CEDAR

Cedar naturally resists moisture, rot and insects, so it's a classic for decks. It's easy to seal or stain. If left untreated, it weathers to a distinguished silvery gray.

DOUGLAS FIR

Douglas fir offers beauty and exceptional strength. When treated for outdoor use, it resists rot and termites.

SOUTHERN YELLOW PINE

Southern yellow pine is a popular softwood, pale in color and easy to work with. When treated for outdoor use with arsenic-free treatment, it resists rot and termites.

For solid wood decks, rest assured that The Home Depot does not purchase wood decking products from old-growth forests or rainforests, so you can relax in the comfort of an earth-friendly purchase.

And with every installed deck from The Home Depot, you can count on an engineered undercarriage with solid post-and-beam construction that ensures your deck's support and safety.

MAINTENANCE-FREE WOOD ALTERNATIVES

Now you can have a beautiful deck without the maintenance. Alternative decking materials don't require sealing, staining or painting, and will never split, warp, crack, rot or splinter. Best of all, they continue to look great, year after year.

COMPOSITE DECKING

Composite decking is a mixture of recycled wood fibers in a resin base. The textured surface comes in Slate Gray, Cascade Redwood or Buff Cedar. (Color availability varies by store.)
