Composite Decking and local data in Annapolis
Composite's main tradeoff is surface heat, and in Annapolis sees about 20 days a year at 90°F or above. Color can be chosen mostly on looks, though full-sun decks still run cooler in lighter tones.
About 75 wet days and 48 freeze-thaw days a year make moisture-resistant capped boards a practical advantage over unsealed wood; with about 19.3 inches of snow, use the ice melt and shovel type the manufacturer allows.
21% of homes in Annapolis are attached, where elevated decks are hard to reach for re-staining — a strong case for composite boards.
