STEEL IS STRONGER

Deck products have evolved over the past 20 years. Today’s composite and pvc deck boards last long, perform better and require less maintenance than their wood counterparts from past years.

However, the deck’s structure has not evolved as rapidly. Treated lumber is still used as joists, posts, and beams on most decks in the St. Louis region. The result is installing deck boards that have a 25 or 30-year warranty (or longer) on a structural system that has little or no warranty. As a natural product, wood reacts to the environment. It will split, warp, twist and shrink from exposure to the weather. Rot or decay has also been seen in some treated lumber in as little as 8-10 years, devaluing your deck.

Steel joists, beams, and posts are stronger and last longer. They will not split, crack, warp, or twist. That means your deck floor stays flat, allowing you to enjoy the deck for decades.

At Outdoor Living Inc. we use only steel structures from New Castle Steel products. The 50-year warranty on their triple-coated galvanized steel products ensures that a deck will retain its value over time. With a Class 1A fire rating you can feel safe grilling your favorite meal out on your deck. Made in the USA, New Castle Steel joists, beams, and posts are tariff-free.

Homeowners can see samples of the steel products at our showroom at 845 S. Holmes in Kirkwood. Walk on our outside decks that are supported by New Castle Steel products. Visit our website at www.outdoorlivinginc.com

Decking: Cool Touch® in various colors

*Although TimberTech Advanced PVC Decking is cooler to the touch than many other competitive composite deck board products, all decking products will get hot in the sun. Additionally, the darker the decking color, the hotter it will feel. For hotter climates, consider choosing a lighter color.

DECKS FOR 2027!

If you are considering building a deck in 2027, it is not too early to begin the process. We are currently booking projects for mid to late April of 2027. You might ask, how can that be?

Many homeowners in the St. Louis region have discovered that Outdoor Living Inc. builds all our decks with New Castle Steel framing. As the first deck builder to begin offering an innovative approach to using steel for framing, we have more experience than other deck builders.

Perhaps the reason for our long lead time is our experienced carpenter crews. As employees of Outdoor Living Inc., they are focused on completing projects to our high standards. Some of our carpenters have been with us for a decade or more and they pass on their skills and knowledge to any new carpenter who joins our team.

Many of the homeowners are impressed by our product offerings. We buy truckloads of decking products from four major manufacturers. Choose from over seventy colors and styles of decking along with dozens of options for railing.

Our experienced deck consultants can help you select best products for you. With years of experience they can talk to you about design options you may not have even considered.

If a new deck is in your plans for 2027, the best place to begin the process is Outdoor Living Inc. at 845 S. Holmes in Kirkwood to see a myriad of options. The best time to start the process is now. For more information about us, visit our website at www.outdoorlivinginc.com
