About Deck Materials
Our Journey Begins
Welcome to Deck Materials, an online haven for all things related to deck building and design. Founded in 2012, our journey started with a simple yet powerful vision: to bridge the information gap in the deck industry and empower homeowners, builders, and designers with reliable, unbiased knowledge.
