Pressure-treated wood, composite or vinyl
How long each one lasts, and the upkeep it asks for.
Pressure-treated wood
- Lasts
- About 15 years for deck boards, 20 for a wood fence1
- Upkeep
- Clean it, then seal or stain it every few years
- Feel
- Real wood grain; it can splinter as it ages
Composite
- Lasts
- 8 to 25 years for composite decking1
- Upkeep
- Soap and water, no sealing
- Feel
- Even color and no splinters; it can get hot in full sun
Vinyl fence and rail
- Lasts
- 100+ years for vinyl fencing1
- Upkeep
- Soap and water, no paint or stain
- Look
- Clean panels in a color set at the factory
Deck and fence care through the year
Wood and composite both last longer when water and dirt do not sit on them.
SpringMar to May
- Wash the deck and check for loose boards, nails and screws.
- Push on the rails and fence posts: none should move.
Summer and stormsJun to Aug · hurricane season runs Jun 1 to Nov 30
- Move planters and rugs now and then so moisture does not stain the boards.
- After a storm, check fence panels and gates for damage.
FallSep to Nov
- Sweep leaves out of the gaps between boards.
- Sprinkle water on wood boards: if it soaks in instead of beading, it is time to seal.
WinterDec to Feb
- Use a plastic shovel on composite boards.
- Check the posts after windy weeks: a leaning post loosens the panels next to it.
