Composite Decking and local data in Eden Prairie

About 55 wet days and 74 freeze-thaw days a year make moisture-resistant capped boards a practical advantage over unsealed wood; with about 54.7 inches of snow, use the ice melt and shovel type the manufacturer allows.
22% of homes in Eden Prairie are attached, where elevated decks are hard to reach for re-staining — a strong case for composite boards.
