Deck builders in Kelowna.

Kelowna, population 142,000, is the Okanagan's largest city — known for hot summers reaching 40°C+, dry conditions, and an active outdoor lifestyle centred on Okanagan Lake. The city sits in a wildfire interface zone, and some areas restrict combustible decking materials. Aluminum decking (Class A fire rating) is increasingly specified in hillside developments. Kelowna's climate differs dramatically from coastal BC — cold winters (-15 to -20°C), hot summers, and low humidity. The frost line is 1.0–1.2m. Deck labour costs run $20–$28 per sq ft.

BC's wet climate makes moisture resistance the top priority. PVC decking and capped composite outperform wood because they resist moss, mildew, and moisture absorption year-round.
