Wood vs. Composite Decks for Humid Birmingham Summers: Pros, Cons, and Maintenance
So you have finally decided to replace the old and weathered deck you now have in your backyard. Or maybe it needs a new surface with our Archadeck of Birmingham redecking experts. And, if this is your very first deck, this blog is especially for you.
Come summertime, decks are the perfect outdoor living space to enjoy seasonal daytime pleasures and special events. But with our summers that are hot, muggy and seemingly endless, what material should you use for your deck?
Summertime in Birmingham typically starts greeting early risers at dawn with 70º Fahrenheit – and jumps to the 90s in the afternoon. Yikes! The real culprit here is not just the heat. It’s the combination of natural elements that can cause your deck to be less than perfect from moisture and garden debris. Drastic changes in the temperatures of summer from high heat to cooler spells are an invitation to deck destruction – deposits of rot and mold. Yuck!
Hence, the logical question is what decks are the smartest investment and perform the best in Birmingham’s summer months?
