  • Composite Decking Explained
    Feb 26 2026

    Most people still believe composite decking gets too hot, is slippery when wet, and costs way more than it’s worth. Some of that used to be true — but the industry has changed. In this episode of the Deckheads Podcast, we break down how composite decking has evolved in the Canadian market — from capped vs uncapped boards to PVC, mineral-based composites, pricing ranges, traction, expansion, and installation rules that matter in our climate. This is contractor-level, unsponsored insight — built for Canadian homeowners and builders planning a backyard project.

  • Avoid Rebuilding Your Deck
    Feb 19 2026

    Most deck problems don’t start with the build — they start with the plan.

    In this episode, we break down the biggest mistakes homeowners (and sometimes contractors) make when building a deck. From layout and stair placement to structural spans, permits, fasteners, and budgeting — this is the stuff that actually costs you money if you get it wrong.

    If you're building this season, watch this before you buy materials.

    00:00 – Funny Deck Fails (Staples & Plywood Ideas) 08:03 – Design Mistakes: Size, Stairs & Wasted Space 13:34 – Structural Mistakes: Spans, Cantilevers & Code 19:50 – Material Selection: Don’t Cheap Out 27:57 – Fasteners: What NOT to Use 30:50 – Railing Rules & Safety Changes 36:18 – Water Management & Drainage 40:16 – Staining: When Should You Actually Do It? 43:24 – Budget Contingencies (Plan for Surprises) 48:16 – Final Advice: Do Research & Be Open to Feedback

    Building a deck isn’t just picking a board you like. It’s layout planning, understanding traffic flow, managing water, following span charts, choosing the right fasteners, and budgeting smart.

    Build it once. Build it right.
