Why Good Decks Fail Too
A Good Deck Can Still Fail
Many failed decks were originally built correctly.
Conditions Change
Over time:
- leaves accumulate
- drainage changes
- airflow becomes restricted
Moisture Never Sleeps
The deck does not fail in a single season.
Problems develop slowly.
Inspection Matters
Small problems found early are inexpensive.
Large problems found late are expensive.
Final Verdict
Good timber helps.
Good construction helps.
Regular inspection keeps both working.
