New, enviro-friendly deck at home

My husband, Bryan, and I are just finishing this summer’s home project. We tore off our old deck and put up a new deck and new railing. It looks great in my humble opinion. I’ll write more about the railing in a future post but I wanted to tell you about the decking material here. It’s a product that made with post-consumer milk jugs that are ground up and mixed with recycled wood waste. Pretty cool, huh? The product’s literature said that their manufacturing process keeps 100 million pounds of wood waste out of our landfills every year. I think it looks great and feels oh-so-nice to walk out on barefoot. And, it has a 25-year warranty! It’s not cheap — in fact it’s quite a bit more expensive than wood but I hope in the long run the cost is comparable. Plus, a bunch of trees didn’t have to die for our new deck.
