Man-Made Composites Vs. Natural Wood Decking Materials
There are two main categories of decking materials you can opt for: manmade and natural wood products. However, there are plenty of options within each of these categories. Manmade decking materials include vinyl, PVC and composites. The most commonly used natural wood decking products include tigerwood, jutoba, Ipe, cedar, and redwood.
