Composite Decking and local data in Tennessee
Composite's main tradeoff is surface heat, and in our covered Tennessee ZIP codes sees about 51 days a year at 90°F or above. Lighter colors and heat-mitigating board lines are worth comparing.
About 81 wet days and 68 freeze-thaw days a year make moisture-resistant capped boards a practical advantage over unsealed wood.
With 63% detached homes, many projects in our covered Tennessee ZIP codes re-deck an existing frame, so joist spacing must be checked against the board's span rating first.
