Elk Composite Decking

Low Maintenance

The beauty of Elk composite decking materials is that they offer the appearance of wood products while requiring considerably less maintenance. Elk composite decking materials usually require only a simple wash once or twice a year, depending on how it has been used, while wood needs to be cleaned and resealed almost every year.

Building a boat dock with Elk composite decking could be considered an effort in frugality, as its life span and much lower maintenance cost provides a quality, stable product that you can install and basically forget.  Elk composite decking is secured with the company’s EZ-Build ™ concealed fasteners which do not show and are ideal in an environment where bare feet are a daily occurrence.

Advantages

Among the benefits of Elk composite decking are:

• its ability to resist sagging and splintering
• its reduced tendency to warp in a wet environment compared to wood
• it will not rot
• it will not attract insects 
• spans can be as wide as 24” on center due to its rigidity
• it uses no toxic chemicals

Elk composite decking is available in four neutral colors to blend well into just about any environment. In the end, its initial cost is far offset by its years of maintenance free service.
