When buying your new composite decking, it is important to also remember what goes beneath. Your decking will only be as solid as the foundation on which it sits, so ensuring your deck frame is strong and durable is critical.

There are a few different materials from which decking frames can be made.

Wood is one of the most popular materials used in the manufacturer of decking frameworks. However, although initially robust, wood can warp and rot over time, causing the frame to become unstable and unsafe. Wood also requires regular treatments to protect it and keep it strong, but once under your decking it becomes harder to access.

Composite is a mixture of different elements – here at Ecodek, our frames are wood polymer composite made from 95% recycled and sustainably sourced materials. Wood composite requires no treatments to protect it from the elements and is rot and splinter resistant. This makes composite the perfect material for your next decking framework.

Our composite frames are the same as our decking solutions – they have been specifically designed to be easy to handle and easy to install. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, it should be simple to fit your new composite deck frame. However, if unsure, it is always best to employ the services of an expert to ensure a professional finish.

Here at Ecodek we live and breath wood composite decking solutions. As such our expert team can offer guidance and advice on how best to achieve the deck of your dreams – from foundation to board.
