Decking refers to the construction of outdoor platforms or surfaces built primarily for recreational purposes, such as outdoor living spaces or areas for relaxation and entertainment. Decking materials can vary widely and include options like wood (e.g., pressure-treated lumber or hardwoods), composite materials (wood-plastic composites), and PVC decking. The choice of decking material depends on factors like aesthetics, durability, maintenance requirements, and budget. Decking is often used in residential properties, restaurants, hotels, and other outdoor settings to create functional and visually appealing outdoor spaces.
