Chicago homeowners often have plans on how to improve the curb appeal of their homes. One of the obvious solutions is to landscape your yard, another one is to build a deck or porch. Inviting additions to a home, decks and porches give people a place to relax and have some fun times. However, prospective deck and porch builders need to be selective about the materials they will use for their project.
There are three main choices for materials for your deck or porch. First, there’s the old standby, wood. Used for centuries, the wood used for decks and porches are mainly cedar, redwood, and pine. There are more durable choices, mainly hardwoods, but these can have a higher price tag. Second, you can get plastic materials to build your deck or porch. They may not look natural but plastics fare well against the elements—plus, they’re stain resistant.
