Deck materials
Deck building in Richmond.
Richmond, population 209,000, is built on a river delta with a high water table that impacts deck construction. Footings in Richmond may encounter water at shallow depths, making helical screw piles a popular foundation choice. The city's flat terrain and moderate climate (milder than Vancouver) make it an excellent market for ground-level and raised decks alike. Richmond's proximity to the ocean means salt air exposure — stainless steel fasteners are recommended, and PVC decking resists moisture better than wood options.
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.
