There’s really no comparison when deciding between the best building material for your deck framing. Historically, most deck structures and deck stairs were built on wood. But that old way of doing things is all bark and no bite.
Now there’s a new, more true choice.
Steel deck framing gives you stronger, straighter and more uniform pieces. Metal is engineered for longer spans, so fewer obstructed views. And don’t worry about tomorrow, because you’ll enjoy the peace of mind of a 25-year limited warranty – something wood deck framing can’t come close to matching.
