Vinyl decks vs. wood decks – what’s the difference?
Vinyl decks (or composite): Water-resistant, splinter-free, low maintenance, available in many finishes, but more expensive.
Wood decks: Classic appearance, lower upfront cost, but require staining/sealing every 1–2 years and can be affected by weather.
Vinyl is ideal for longevity and minimal upkeep; wood is best if you love the natural aesthetic and are okay with maintenance.
