Composite Decking and local data in Lynn
Composite's main tradeoff is surface heat, and in Lynn sees about 9 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 84 wet days and 84 freeze-thaw days a year make moisture-resistant capped boards a practical advantage over unsealed wood; with about 39.1 inches of snow, use the ice melt and shovel type the manufacturer allows.
With 35% detached homes, many projects in Lynn re-deck an existing frame, so joist spacing must be checked against the board's span rating first.
