Custom deck installations are a fantastic way to enhance your outdoor living space, and at Utah Pergola Company, we take pride in crafting durable, beautiful decks that stand the test of time. Using deck installation techniques that combine Trex composite deck boards with sturdy wood substructures, we create functional and aesthetically pleasing solutions for both residential and commercial properties. Our expertise in high-quality timber framing ensures your deck is built to last, offering a seamless blend of style and practicality.
Why Choose Trex Composite Deck Boards?
Trex composite decking has revolutionized outdoor living with its blend of durability, aesthetics, and sustainability. Unlike traditional wood decking that requires constant upkeep, Trex boards are engineered from a composite of recycled wood fibers and plastic, providing a surface that withstands Utah’s harsh sun, heavy snow, and everything in between. At Utah Pergola Company, we elevate this modern material by pairing it with a robust substructure made from premium woods like Douglas Fir, Redwood, or Red Cedar.
- Weather Resistance: Trex decking resists fading, cracking, and warping, ensuring your deck looks pristine year after year.
- Sustainability: Composed of up to 95% recycled materials, it’s an eco-friendly option for green-minded homeowners and businesses.
- Minimal Upkeep: Forget sanding, staining, or sealing—simple soap and water keep it clean and vibrant.
- Design Flexibility: Available in various colors and finishes, Trex adapts to any outdoor aesthetic.
This synergy of Trex composite decking and our expertly crafted timber substructures delivers a deck that’s as tough as it is beautiful, perfect for family gatherings, outdoor dining, or commercial use.
The Importance of a Strong Wood Substructure
The surface of your deck may steal the spotlight, but the substructure beneath it is the unsung hero that ensures stability and longevity. At Utah Pergola Company, we use only the finest timber—Douglas Fir, Redwood, or Red Cedar—for the framework supporting your Trex deck boards. These woods are naturally durable, offering resistance to moisture, insects, and decay, which is critical for enduring Utah’s diverse climate.
Here’s what makes our wood substructure exceptional:
- Load-Bearing Strength: Douglas Fir provides unmatched structural integrity, ideal for expansive decks or heavy foot traffic.
- Natural Beauty: Redwood and Red Cedar bring warmth and character, even to the hidden framework.
- Rot Resistance: These woods hold up against moisture, reducing the risk of premature wear.
- Precision Craftsmanship: Our team ensures every joist, beam, and post is perfectly aligned and secured.
By combining this sturdy foundation with Trex composite decking, we create a deck that’s not only visually appealing but also engineered for decades of reliable performance.
Steps to a Perfect Deck Installation
Installing a deck is a multi-step process that requires expertise and attention to detail. At Utah Pergola Company, we’ve refined our approach to deliver consistent, high-quality results tailored to your needs. Here’s a closer look at how we build your dream deck:
- Initial Consultation: We visit your property, discuss your goals, and explore styles that suit your vision.
- Material Planning: Select from our premium timber options for the substructure and Trex boards for the surface.
- Site Preparation: We clear debris, level the ground, and address drainage to prevent future issues.

- Decking Application: Trex boards are measured, cut, and installed with precision for a flawless finish.
- Quality Check: We inspect every element, from structural integrity to aesthetic details, ensuring perfection.
This thorough process guarantees a deck that enhances your property’s value and usability, whether it’s a cozy residential retreat or a bustling commercial space.
Benefits of Adding a Deck to Your Property
A custom deck does more than extend your square footage—it redefines how you interact with your outdoor environment. At Utah Pergola Company, we’ve seen firsthand how decks transform homes and businesses alike. Here’s why investing in a deck makes sense:
| Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| Expanded Space | Creates a dedicated area for relaxation, entertaining, or outdoor work. |
| Boosted Value | A well-built deck increases resale potential and attracts buyers or renters. |
| Low Maintenance | Trex decking eliminates the need for frequent repairs or refinishing. |
| Custom Options | Pair with pergolas or gazebos for a personalized touch. |
From summer barbecues to quiet mornings with coffee, a deck adapts to your lifestyle while requiring minimal effort to maintain.
Designing Your Deck: Key Considerations
Creating the perfect deck involves more than just picking materials—it’s about designing a space that fits your life. At Utah Pergola Company, we guide you through every decision to ensure your deck meets your practical and aesthetic needs. Consider these factors:
- Size and Layout: Will it be a small platform for intimate gatherings or a sprawling multi-level design for large events?
- Location: We assess sunlight, wind patterns, and views to optimize placement on your property.
- Purpose: Is it for dining, lounging, or a mix of activities? This shapes the design and features.
- Complementary Structures: Add a pavilion or pergola for shade and style.
Our team collaborates with you to balance functionality and beauty, resulting in a deck that’s uniquely yours.
Pairing Your Deck with Shade Structures
A deck becomes even more inviting when paired with a custom shade structure, and Utah Pergola Company excels at creating cohesive outdoor designs. Using the same premium timber—Douglas Fir, Redwood, or Red Cedar—we craft pergola kits, pavilion kits, and gazebo kits that enhance your Trex composite deck.
Explore these options:
- Pergolas: Open lattices provide partial shade and a modern, airy feel.
- Pavilions: Solid roofs offer full protection from sun and rain, ideal for all-season use.
- Gazebos: Elegant, standalone structures that add charm and a focal point.
These additions not only elevate your deck’s functionality but also create a stunning outdoor retreat that blends seamlessly with your property.
Maintaining Your Trex Deck
One of the biggest advantages of Trex composite decking is its low maintenance, but a little care goes a long way in keeping it looking its best. Here’s how to preserve your deck’s beauty:
- Cleaning: Wash with soap and water or a mild cleaner to remove dirt and debris.
- Debris Removal: Sweep leaves and twigs regularly to prevent staining or mold.
- Inspection: Check the timber substructure annually for signs of wear, though our premium woods rarely need intervention.
With these simple steps, your deck will remain a stunning centerpiece of your outdoor space for years.
