Cedar wood or timber decking can be used in a number of ways: as part of garden landscaping, to extend the living area of a house, and as an alternative to stone-based features such as patios. Decks are made from treated lumber, composite lumber, composite material, and aluminum.

Here are some advantages of cedar wood decks:

-Wood does require maintenance, but it has a more classic look and feel than other materials.

-It's a durable wood that is naturally resistant to rot, decay and insect attacks, and resists moisture absorption.

-Lasts longer, needs less maintenance, and doesn't warp or split as easily. A cedar deck can last for 15-20 years or more, depending on maintenance and environment.

PVC decking is composed entirely of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and contains no wood. PVC decking is a more expensive option in the decking industry, but it provides significant fade and stain resistance and lower maintenance requirements compared to other products.

Here are some advantages of PVC decks:

-PVC decking offers the most significant fade, stain, and mold resistance among decking products.

- It is sometimes partially composed of recycled plastic material, making it an environmentally friendly, efficient use of resources.

-The product is significantly lighter compared to wood composite products and can be bent and shaped to create custom configurations
