Hay Ken I would go with either Cedar or PT, the composite stuff is way too expensive. As far as I know with products like Trex Deck (one of the big composite companies) they do not make structural pieces (4x4, 6x6,2x6,2x8,2x10) so they are really only for decking, so itââ¬â¢s only a partial maintenance free deck.
Cedar is my favorite because you can leave it natural and when it goes gray just get a portable pressure washer (Canadian Tire $150 model) and spend a couple hours washing and it looks brand new, just use a coated screw so no rust comes out.
With PT there are two colours, the ugly dark green and a nice light green, places like Rona carry will carry both types. If you would like some pictures of the difference between the two PT colours let me know and I can send them to you.
If you give me a rough size of your deck I can email you some designs and product amounts you would need.
I have access to a program at my old work that does everything in 3D.
