They are slowly replacing it with composite. So $$$, but they are literally refinishing the wood and replacing boards every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mahogany-or-composite-deck#post-2096485 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 11:32:54 +0000 QueensBee 2096485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: @regberadaisy: @jetsa: Okay, you are convincing me!

Pressure Washing and Staining takes too long every year or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mahogany-or-composite-deck#post-2096210 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 09:47:39 +0000 regberadaisy 2096210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Composite!!!! If we can afford it that's the route we ideally want for our backyard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mahogany-or-composite-deck#post-2096176 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 09:24:00 +0000 PurplePumps 2096176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Composite. If given a choice, always the lower maintenance option imo. I think the composite would be better for resale too cause people like low maintenance. No maintenance, no splinters, no warping... all pluses in my book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mahogany-or-composite-deck#post-2096169 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 09:16:03 +0000 QueensBee 2096169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are replacing our deck this month and need to decide on the building material. I like the look of mahogany wood but I'll be the one in charge of maintaining it and I'm not sure how time consuming or labor intensive that will be each year. Our deck will be approximately 500 square feet. </p> <p>If you have either a mahogany or composite deck, can you let me know how you like it? Pros or cons of each? Do you think one adds more value to the resale of a house than the other?</p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
