Composite Decking and local data in Anoka County

About 59 wet days and 92 freeze-thaw days a year make moisture-resistant capped boards a practical advantage over unsealed wood; with about 44.1 inches of snow, use the ice melt and shovel type the manufacturer allows.
With 67% detached homes, many projects in Anoka County's covered ZIP codes re-deck an existing frame, so joist spacing must be checked against the board's span rating first.
