Wooden decks are beautiful. You just can’t replicate the look, feel and smell of real wood very well. Composite boards come close but most people can tell the difference pretty easily. A great wood material to choose for a deck is treated yellow pine. Treated yellow pine is both pressure treated and chemically treat to help prevent mold, rotting and deter insects such as termites. Composite deck is another option that is made of both wood and plastic. It is essentially completely resistant to rotting and insects.
