decking question

Garcia · 06-21-2022, 05:00 PM

I am planning to build a 40 X 10 floating deck, adjacent to my house, that is just over 2 feet off the ground. I am not planning on any railings.

I priced out Lumberock (thanks Think) and was surprised by the expense and shipping cost so am looking into other options.

Any suggestions/recommendations on decking material? I am looking to keep the price low, but realize this is a long term investment.

I am planning to use pressure treated lumber for the frame as that seems to be the least expensive option - but again am open to other suggestions.

Any experience with decking material - and cost - is appreciated.
