Vinyl Deck Arnold MD

Which to choose, Fiberon ® decking or wood decking? When building or updating your outdoor living space, one major decision you’ll face is choosing the right decking material. Therefore, it’s essential to consider all the factors before making your choice. Wood has been the go-to option for generations; however, alternatives like Fiberon® composite decking are gaining popularity for good reason. We’ll compare Fiberon® decking to traditional wood decking so you can decide which is the better fit for your outdoor space. 1. Durability: How Does Each Material Hold Up Over Time?

Types of Deck Railing

If you have a deck, you need a railing. But how do you choose from all the different types of deck railing? The right deck railing can completely transform your deck in function and flair. With a vast range of railing types and styles on the market, you must decide what works for you!  Comparing popular railing styles can help you find the best fit for your deck and vision.

Glass Railing Glass is the most luxurious railing style, using sturdy tempered glass panels between metal, composite, or wood posts and rails.

Cypress Glen Outdoor Irish Parade

Family owned and operated, me (Glen) and my father (Jim) started this company in April of 2022 with a vision to create a well-known and quality deck, patio and fence company. Two years into our mission I feel that we have done exactly what we set out to do and St. Patricks Day of 2024, two weeks ago, showed me how great we have become. Many friends and family set out with us to walk the Annapolis St. Patricks Day Parade on our side. Pulling our Trex/Fiberon trailer off the back of company truck with kids and families screaming our names down West Street was the ultimate joy for Cypress Glen Outdoor. We aren’t going anywhere and we continue to build high quality projects for our lovely clients!

You have the place, size, and shape decided, and maybe even some thoughts on what type of pool deck materials you’d like used. But have you thought about the types of pool coping you want? Do you even know what it is? What Is Pool Coping Pool coping is technically part of the pool deck. The edging or border around the pool provides a perimeter, creating a protective cap and decorative edge. In addition to finishing off the look of your pool, it also has some functionality. This establishes a barrier between the pool itself and the deck. This coping prevents water from leaking into the ground while improving the pool’s overall look. Why Do You Need It? On top of making the pool’s finished edge, pool coping comes in non-slip materials for safety purposes. This material
