As a result of home renovations, I will be raising the deck on the side of my house by about 3 feet. The deck surface is currently concrete. The new deck will be constructed from plywood and made water tight.

I need to choose a decking material to go on the surface over the plywood. The deck is on the north side of the house and has some shading on one side from the overhang of the house. It's about 8-10' wide and about 16' long. (I've misplaced my measuring tape)

I want to use a decking material that is pet-friendly. I have a flagstone sidewalk in the front of the house - but this gets very hot on sunny days and is porous - easily stains. Porcelain tiles would be slippery on wet days. I'm in southern California - so no issues with freezing or snow.

I'm thinking about using either a decking material or decorative cement tiles. Any experience with these on decks?
