Wood Decking Cost and Pricing

Wood Decking Cost and Pricing

An average deck is constructed from 3 features. the Planks, the Framework, the Railings. These are made from either natural wood, iron wood or composite wood.  The cost between the three options will usually determine as the overall deciding factor.

Natural wood usually comes in a much lower price followed by Composite wood and Iron Wood, what we are sharing today is that wood decking cost might not be the only deciding factor to your decision if you were to take a look at the lifespan of the 3 materials.

For the purpose of this conversation, we will consider the cost and requirements for the construction of a wooden deck measuring 160 x 200. (Inches)

160 x 200 = 3200 sq inches

1 sq ft – 144 sq inches

3200 / 144 = 22.2 square feet

(EXAMPLE)

Natural wood – $18/square foot (Total $ 399.60 )

Composite wood –$ 22/square foot (Total $488.40 )

Iron wood – $24/square foot (Total $532.80 )

Most likely, you would set your eyes on the cheapest option (Natural Wood) as the wood decking cost is the most attractive among them. However, as shared earlier on, the wood deck price might not be the only factor to consider – let’s take a second look.

(Wood Deck Material Life Span/Cost)

Natural wood 20 years – $399.60/20years = $19.98/year

Composite wood 40 years – $488.40/40years = $12.21/year

Iron wood <50 years – $532.80/50years = $10.66/year!

Comparing Iron wood to Natural wood in terms of annual cost, natural wood cost DOUBLE than iron wood and Iron Wood lifespan is 2.5 times of natural wood.
