We just finished a deck in Cranberry Township using all pressure-treated wood decking with a white vinyl railing system. The customer originally wanted a complete low maintenance project, but it did not fit within the budget required to accomplish that goal.
Knowing that the railing is the most laborious task when sealing a deck we suggested pressure- treated decking with a white vinyl railing system to tie the deck in with the trim of the home. The customer agreed and we were assigned the project.
There are some 6×6 recessed panel vinyl posts added to the railing to provide additional visual interest to this project. Most projects only have 4×4 vinyl posts. The deck wrapped around the house to increase their outdoor living space by turning an unusable part of their yard (a steep bank) into useable living space. We even created a unique dining area to incorporate their gazebo while keeping their views unobstructed.
While not all aspects of this deck are low maintenance , we drastically reduced the amount of time needed to maintain this deck for this family. By incorporating an all vinyl rail system vs. pressure treated we were able to save this family approximately 60%-70% of the time it would normally take to maintain this deck had it used an all pressure treated rail system.
