Everything You Need to Know About Roof Decking & Fencing

You've got a deck, you've got a roof. But what if you could have both?

Roof decking is the perfect way to make your outdoor space even more usable. It's a great way to turn your roof into an extension of your home, and it can be used as a deck or fencing, depending on what you need. With so many options and styles available, it can be difficult to know which one is right for you. We're here to help!

Here's everything you need to know about roof decking & fencing:

Roof decking is a great way to add style, elegance, and character to your home. The options are endless, so you can choose the right look for your home and budget. If you’re considering adding roof decking to your home, here’s what you need to know.

Roof Decking Options

Metal, wood and composite are the three primary materials used in decking. Wood is usually made from lumber or treated lumber (like pressure-treated pine). Composite materials are made from recycled plastic and wood fibres that give them added strength and durability against weather conditions like rain or snowfall. Both types come in different colours (including natural wood tones), but the wood tends to be less expensive than composite materials because it doesn't require any special treatment before installation (unlike metal roofs). 

There are many types of metal roof decking available on the market today. The most common types include aluminium, galvanized steel, stainless steel and zinc-coated steel. Aluminium is lightweight and easy to work with; however, it rusts easily if exposed to rain or snow over time. It requires regular maintenance like painting or sealing every few years depending on how often it gets wet from rain runoff during storms or other precipitation events like snowfall. Or throughout winter months, when temperatures drop below freezing levels overnight causing ice damming conditions further downstream along river banks where there the air is humid. Stainless steel, zinc-coated steel and galvanised steel decks on the other hand are more durable because they do not rust easily. 

So if you want more affordable roof decking, you can go for aluminium deck. If you are looking for durability, we recommend you go for decks made of stainless steel, zinc-coated steel or galvanised steel decks. 

Roof Decking Cost

The average cost for installing new roof decking ranges from $30 to $50 per square foot depending on the material used, durability factor, and quality of materials. It is better if you contact your local roofing companies to get the estimate for your references. 

House Fencing

Fencing is an important part of the exterior of your house. It not only keeps unwanted people out but also defines the look and feel of your home.

Types Of Fencing

Wood fencing - This type of fencing is very popular because it is aesthetically pleasing and easy to install. Wood fencing is a good choice for those who want something that looks like a traditional fence but doesn't require much maintenance. However, wood does require some upkeep to keep looking its best.

PVC fencing - PVC fencing is another popular option because it doesn't require much maintenance, although there are some things that you can do to maintain it properly (such as sealing or painting). PVC fencing can also be used in any weather condition without having any problems with rotting or splitting like other types of fences may experience over time due to weather conditions affecting them over time such as rainwater seeping into cracks between boards which causes rot on the inside or outside surface where water pools up after heavy rains fall causing rot on those surfaces too; this will happen with other types of lumber too but not as much as with PVC fencing. 

The material for your fencing depends on where you live. Wood is common in some parts of the country, while other areas use metal or plastic. Some people even choose to do without fencing altogether and instead use plants like bamboo or hedges as privacy shields.

Fencing is a great way to add some privacy and style to your yard. It can also be a good way to delineate space and keep pets in or out. Fence materials range from wood to chain-link, and there are many options for both. Wood fences are attractive and durable, but they require maintenance as they age. They may also have an impact on the environment if they're not harvested sustainably. Chain-link fences are strong, durable, and inexpensive—but they aren't particularly attractive or easy to maintain.

Whether you opt for wood, metal, or plastic, consider how much maintenance it will require. Will it need to be painted? Will it need to be replaced over time? If so, how often? These are important questions to ask before making any decisions about your fence materials. Contact your local contractor and ask all these questions and make an informed decision.
