Raised decks are built with a concrete support on the ground. The concrete are sturdy foundation that will hold the deck and keep it off the ground. Since the deck is entirely made of wood, it is not healthy to directly build it touching the soil.

Before building the raised deck

It is important to have the timber treated to protect it against premature rotting and prevent moisture from damaging the frame and the planks. Consult your decking professional for the best wood type suitable for your raised deck. Sometimes, it depends on your location and the climate in your area. Nevertheless, you need a lumber that is rot-resistant and slow to decay. In this case, you need to treat the wood and finish it with a protective stain.

Most raised decks are built within a landscaped garden, around the pool, or on a patio area. Since it is built outdoors, humidity and moisture is high from weather. Moulds, algae, fungi, and any wood-boring insects would thrive and accumulate and slowly destroy the wood material that composed the deck. Hence, the type of wood you use dictates the stability of the deck and should conform to the kind of weather in your area.

The sun is another major enemy of the wood. It really breaks down the finish of the wood, from handrail to the stairs, anything that is exposed to the sun may soon wear off than those parts hidden under a shed.

A raised deck could be a wise choice if you want something added as an outdoor space created for leisure, spending time with people or just being alone. It could be directly connected to your indoor, opening a smooth transition going outside. However, all could only be spoiled if you deck cracks the moment you step on. 

The secret to keeping your deck immaculate is to maintain it and have a periodic repair before any problem blows off.
