The rise in extreme weather conditions across the nation give more reasons to build a new deck or replace an existing deck with composite decking material. The summers get hotter and the winters get colder, but with a Trex composite deck, you can save time on maintenance throughout the year by having a Trex deck.
During extreme heat in the summer, your Trex composite deck stays undamaged from the hot sun and high temperatures. It’s also resistant to mildew and insect infestation. Which means if you want to enjoy your pool or a sprinkler, the splish splashes won’t harm your deck. While other deck owners are worrying about killer bee infestations or wasp hordes, you can enjoy the time enjoying the summer sunshine from your Trex deck in Virginia.
Likewise, when others are spending weeks in the fall winterizing their decks for the cold Virginia winter snows, you can enjoy those crisp fall days knowing winterizing your Trex deck is as easy as one, two, three! A simple sweep and moving of any planters or furniture that is not winter friendly, and you are good to go. Snow and ice removal is a snap as well. Given that the moisture won’t harm your Trex deck, you can leave snow piled on your deck if you please. If not, a simple sweep for lighter snowfalls or a plastic shovel for heavier snowfalls will do. Rock Salt can be used for icy conditions, just be sure to sweep up the salt once the ice is melted to avoid staining.
Speaking of staining, you can skip that laborious activity as the proud owner of a Trex composite deck. Your deck will last for years without the annual activity of staining a traditional wood deck. Which gives you more time to actually enjoy the benefits of having a beautiful outdoor deck in Virginia!
