2) If I have a small deck upstairs that needs to be replaced because of dryrot and/or termites, would any of you recommend going with a synthetic material versus 100% wood? I read some of the synthetic is wood composite and another kind is almost made out of plastic…Just wondering since…Well, I guess I have a small upstairs patio project.
To the original poster… I had an issue with some of my patio deck posting rotting at the bottom. It was due to the posts sitting in standing water. (The previous owner didn’t put the posts on concrete bases, but instead the post made direct contact with the ground, which was dirt and plants and water. I ended up finding a contractor that cut out the bottom, creating about concrete base that sits above the dirt by about 3-4 inches, and had the posts shortened and anchored on top of the concrete bases.
Question 1 is environment. San Diego is a home to both airborne and subt type of termites. Double trouble. Other areas around the country don’t have airborne termites but do have subt types. Also anything with wood framing is gonna be a home to these types of pests. Try as youy might they will get into the home through small seams, cracks, exhausts, etc to escape the heat and set up camp.
Question 2 yeah I would recommend a synthetic product like trex or something similar.
