Can I Build My Own Deck?

Building a deck requires careful consideration and forethought. Start by envisioning the layout of your new outdoor space, and consider how you will use it.

If you aren’t confident about where to start, consulting with a Dutch Way professional can provide you with guidance and know-how to take on this project and succeed!

Prioritize Safety for a Solid Structure.

Safety should always be your top priority as you plan for your new deck. Augusta County requires a permit for all new construction or replacement of decks and porches. Their simple online checklist ensures you follow the proper guidelines and procedures. Meeting local building codes and being mindful of proper structural support will provide a successful deck-building experience and years of enjoyment.

Enhance Your Deck’s Longevity with Composite Materials.

Choosing the right decking material is one of the most important decisions you’ll need to make. Traditional wooden planks require frequent upkeep and can be susceptible to rot, splintering, and fading. This is where composite decking comes in. Dutch Way offers a wide range of premium composite and PVC options from Wolf Decking and Fiberon. These products are durable, low-maintenance, and backed by industry-leading warranties. Although you’ll have a higher up-front cost, investing in composite or PVC decking will pay off for years to come. You’ll never have to stain or seal it; your deck will maintain its brand-new appearance for decades. Plus, it’s resistant to rot, warping, and insect damage.
