Outdoor Living

Decks

Decks are becoming larger and more intricate. There are many more choices of materials and designs than there used to be. Home and cottage owners are treating the deck area as an extension of the living space. We offer a multitude of products that can make this happen. Because we are in cottage country, decks are a large part of our business. The most significant changes in the last few years for materials are in the railing and decking options. Read below to find out about our products. If you are new to building decks, the Simpson Strong-Tie (metal hangers) site has a lot of useful information.

InvisiRail Glass System

No obstructions limiting your view! Finally, one of our suppliers has engineered a glass railing system that does not require an aluminum framework. The glass is held in four places with a stainless steel clamp system. To achieve this, thicker glass must be used, making this a premium option—but one that provides a completely unobstructed view.

The manufacturer also introduced an aluminum post option for the glass railing system in 2014.

Aluminum Balusters

Today, people are looking for alternatives. Aluminum and glass balusters are just a few of the distinctive options being used to differentiate your deck or porch. The typical deck railing calls for 2 x 2 wood balusters—which simply doesn’t cut it anymore.

Enjoy the freedom to select from a wide range of low-maintenance aluminum balusters for your railing. Available in a variety of colours and styles, they can be accessorized to create truly distinctive and beautiful deck or porch railings.

Deckorators® balusters offer the options you desire. Choose from a wide range of aluminum series balusters—including Classic, Colonial, Architectural, Estate, and Traditional—or enjoy an unobstructed view with Scenic Glass Balusters.

What is Trex®? Trex is the leading brand of alternative decking, railing, fencing and trim products designed to maximize your outdoor living experience.

Trex composite products are made of a unique combination of wood and plastic fibres, sourced from reclaimed or recycled resources including sawdust, used pallets and recycled plastic grocery bags. The manufacturing process keeps thousands of tons of wood and plastic scrap out of landfills every year, while delivering decking, railing and fencing products that are beautiful, long-lasting and environmentally responsible.

Hardware & Fasteners

The connectors and fastening systems that keep a deck safe, strong and clean-looking.

Deck Hardware

Just like your home, it’s important to make sure your deck is built right. Most experts agree that the average life expectancy of a wood deck is 10 to 15 years. It is estimated that there are thousands of decks in Canada that are beyond their useful life and may be unsafe — in fact, the number of deck collapses has increased in recent years.

If you’re building a deck or have an existing deck, you should know how to evaluate its construction to make sure it’s structurally sound and safe. Using the proper structural connectors and fasteners (like nails and screws), as well as regular maintenance, are the keys to a safe, strong deck.
