I've been researching replacement materials and have decided to go with Purple Heart decking (real wood!) and railings comprised of Ipe balusters and Purple Heart posts, railings, and railing caps. Surprisingly, the cost for the materials is only about 5% more than what we paid for Geodeck materials three and a half years ago! While labor costs might be an issue for some, fortunately (I think...?), I'll be doing our rebuild myself.
And then of course with real wood, there's that issue of annual maintenance...
Oh well, at least it won't fall apart in three years! |
