Decking Material

10 years ago

I'm going to be building a deck on the back of my house this fall or next spring. I am currently more concerned about building a retaining wall the deck will be over/on in some places. I'm thinking 10 to 12' deep and potentially 20' long. This is going to be raised, over the walkout basement area. No roof over the deck.


I've read a lot of bad experiences with composite decking, and the prices are high. My two main options are pressure treated or maybe cedar decking. Anyone have one or the other, or have any input to add to the topic? Curious what others have experienced long term.
