Decks

Making Backyards Fun!

At Austex Fence and Deck, we’re passionate about decks because nothing utilizes a backyard living space better than a well-built Austex deck. Decks are Austin’s favorite yard feature, since they are simply great for capturing that special view of the lake, sunrises or sunsets. Whether a simple platform deck or a multilevel extravaganza, an Austex deck makes any backyard more fun.

An Austex Deck can also be a practical solution to an unruly lawn, a sloped yard, erosion, or running water. In either case, an Austex deck will be an extension of your indoor living space that’s well designed and an excellent setting for relaxing, dining, or entertaining. Austex Fence and Deck specializes in “Making Backyards Fun!”

Deck Materials

At Austex Fence and Deck, we use only the highest quality materials in all our projects. Although Cedar Decks are most popular in Austin, Texas, there are other options. The selection depends on your needs, budget and appearance. Here are some of the different materials that can be used when building decks that make backyards more distinctive … and fun!

Ipe Decks

Ipe is a very attractive, high quality hardwood and Ipe is the finest quality decking material available, since it is an extremely dense, tight-grained wood.

Ipe is generally deep rich brown in appearance with some red and amber hued accents. In addition to its greater strength than other decking woods, it has the highest rating for insect and decay resistance. Most notably, this incredibly hard wood does not require finishing and will not deteriorate over time as other woods do.

Cedar Decks

Cedar wood is well suited for decks and outdoor stair construction.Â Cedar is naturally decay-resistant, light in weight, easy to work with, and complements any architectural style. Cedar holds up well in the intense Central Texas sun and although it will gray over time if not stained every couple of years, it is not prone to cracking and splintering like treated pine decks.

Redwood Decks

Redwood offers beauty, longevity, and easy maintenance. At Austex Fence and Deck, we use only virgin timber, so our old growth redwood forests will remain untouched. The beauty, durability and exceptional dimensional stability of Redwood makes it a good choice for intricately crafted outdoor applications. Redwood will also gray over time if not stained.

Treated Pine Deck

Pine that has been treated is structurally superior, and resists decay and termites. It is pressure treated so the protective ingredients penetrate deeply into the heart of the wood. Austex Fence and Deck uses MicroPro treated wood which has a lighter, “natural” color that stains nicer and has better corrosion protection.

Vinyl Deck

Vinyl Decking is taking the industry by storm and is fact becoming the favorite material in decking, due primarily to its stability and proven track record. Now in several finishes and tones, vinyl decking not only has a natural wood look to it, but is proven to be the most maintenance free of all decking options in addition to having a “Lifetime Limited Warranty!”

Austex is the Authorized Dealer for Endeck Vinyl Decking and has the new “Forest Series” featuring three outstanding colors that include: Cedar, Sequoia and Chestnut.

Composite Decking

Composite Decking is an outstanding alternative to conventional deck and landscaping materials. It is created by combining reclaimed plastics and waste wood, which produces a wood-polymer lumber that is free of the drawbacks of wood and easy on the environment.

Composite Decking is “Family Friendly” because it’s splinter-free, has excellent traction, even when wet and there are no hassles with stains or sealants. You also have the confidence and protection of a 25 year limited transferable warranty!
