Show Notes

People planning a deck all ask the same questions:

Is composite decking slippery?
Does it get too hot?
Why does it cost so much?
Is it actually worth it?

In this episode of the Deckheads Podcast, deck store owners break down what’s changed in decking over the last 10 years — and which problems are real vs outdated advice.

We explain how modern decking materials improved traction, reduced heat, and why pricing ranges so wildly between products. If you're budgeting a backyard project, this will save you from expensive mistakes before you build.
