Vinyl Decking is a Hi-Polymer material manufactured from a special high-impact, weather-resistant polyvinyl chloride compound. It is specially formulated for outdoor exposure where color and physical properties are important.

Premier Composite Decking is made of wood flour and high density polyethylene combined with pigment for color, an anti-fungal/anti mildew agent and an anti-parasite agent. In addition, because it is manufactured using Strandex technology, Premier decking has five important features. First, it is one of the strongest deckboards on the market. The Strandex technology results in "strands" of wood flour exiting from the extruder like "strands" of spaghetti.

The TDA publishes a Manual for professional designers and installers which covers everything to do with deck construction including species selection, span tables and strength classifications. The Manual sets the standard for best practice deck design and installation and can be purchased from the TDA Secretary's office for ?32.00 including postage. To request an order form click here. Some of the TDA's own members publish guides, CD's or videos about deck construction.

Shingles shall be applied over spaced sheathing except where local building code requires solid decks for seismic regions, in wind-driven snow or high wind areas. Shakes installed with interwoven felt may be installed on a solid deck. Pressure impregnated preservative treated products may be applied with solid sheathing and you should check with your local Building Official for specific requirements in your area. See the CSSB's New Roof Construction Manual.

These materials are then blended with a colorant and U.V. stabilizer to make West Star, a tough long lasting, no maintenance decking.

To keep Vinyl Decking looking like new, wash with a garden hose. If certain spills are allowed to dry (coffee, fruit juice, kerosene), it may be necessary to use a non-abrasive household cleaner to remove residue, then rinse with a hose.

Premier Composite Decking is made with a unique process that turns wood and polymers into a strong, moisture-resistant material. The result of this unique formulation is that you do not need to sand or paint this product. You can paint or stain the product, however, this will void the warranty.

Decking kits are not available through KD but many customers have built their own decks around the pools.

The types of decking available are; brushed concrete, pea gravel, kool deck, sundek, brick pavers, and flagstone. They are all good for around swimming pools. Wood decks look nice too but do not hold up as well around water.

The standard is a plain concrete deck. However, special coatings can enhance the use and appearance of a concrete deck. Other surfaces can also be constructed ... use your imagination!

For pressure treated decking we use 3” galv. ACQ approved ring shank nails. You can upgrade for a small fee to ACQ approved decking screws
