Decking' is a structure that is built on the outside of your home for walking or sitting. Care for decking also includes other structures outside of your home, such as: porches, stairs, railings with bars called ‘balustrades', trellises, gazebos, and swing sets.
Decking may be made from a variety of materials such as: soft wood; hardwood; composite materials; and metal.
