Jaybin has to play arm candy for Dick undercover, Rickie Malone? or smth

For the Ask Game

Would you believe me if I said that I actually had an idea with this exact plot?

Matches Malone is know for being a fake, an alias. Someone they keep around because he's helped guys he's cosplaying as out and that's useful in many ways. Rickie Malone isn't like that. Through some poorly worded explanations from Matches while he was at odds with Bruce and some of the traits Dick chose for Rickie (sexist, short tempered, egotistical, hands that love to roam) back when he was making a persona, people think of Rickie as two steps away from being a monster.

This means that he's the perfect alias to go undercover for a specific trafficking ring run by people just like Rickie...and Dick hates every second of it

To make matters worse, he can't take Babs along with him because the last time she tried to be "Rickie's girl" she almost actually murdered Dick because that's how foul he has to play.

Dick wants it known that he's against taking Jason along. Actively doesn't want to do it, but Jason would help solidify Rickie's descent and also be backup once Dick gets in over his head.

They end up having to "prove themselves" as the real deal once caught. Dick hates how much he wasn't acting when Jason started blowing him, nor about how hard he was getting when Jason was passed around.

The "Little Brother" that slipped out of Dick's mouth was not planned, but it meant that Rickie Malone was a certified bad man in the underworld, which he hates hates hates so much but he can't let go of this opportunity (Jason refuses to let go of this opportunity to shut these places down and they are both using this to harm themselves and also get their rocks off).

actually, I'll give you something cute

Jason and Tim gotta pretend to be a married couple in a suburb or smth, specifically thinking they adopt like a dog/or cat while there (and then keep them obv)

but yeah playing happy married couple while totally not pining after each other

this is so messy i’m sorry lmao

mutual pining is one of my absolute favorite tropes <3 & you know i love a good undercover + identity shenanigans fic

I don’t have a lot of clear, defined ideas for the set up (I find casefics so hard to conceptualize for some reason???? Sigh.) But. I have a few thoughts— first, I don’t want them going undercover together to have been the original plan. Second, I kind of want to have originally been Jason’s case? Bc I kind of want there to be an opening thread of like. Jason’s such a planner that having his plans over turned is always upsetting for him—he’s adaptable, it rarely ever affects his actual work, but he still gets grumpy about it :/ So him reaching out for Tim’s help isn’t like. A Big Deal but it isn’t Not a Deal at all, you know? Like it means something that he’s asking Tim to come in for… SO many reasons.

Alternatively I suppose it could be something they were assigned to do by Bruce or Babs or asked to do by Steph, even, ‘cause it’s someone else’s case & they need intel but also more freedom to do stuff?? I dunnoooo. ALSO thinking that maybe Tim & Jason are the obv choice for such an assignment bc Jason is still legally dead & doesn’t have much of a civilian life that anyone knows about, and Tim is no longer involved with WE or doesn’t have to do much with the company so his free time is also… very open.

I’m also torn on like. WHERE I would want them to be. In a Gotham suburb? Or outside of Gotham completely? Like, say, Metropolis? There’s something appealing about the latter bc like. They’re already undercover, posing as different people, but NOW they’re also someWHERE else so it feels even more like this is a distant dream they can never have. However, if it’s in Gotham you could have that underlying “we could have been this if life had been different.” (You can kind of get that with the former too, but.)

Also thinking that as much as I love the gendefuckery of crossdressing / going undercover as a woman, AND as much as I love the idea of genderqueer/fluid/trans Tim, I want them to be going undercover as an MM couple? (Although, now I’m thinking about a similar situation where Tim, who doesn’t oft explore the femme side of himself in depth, actually would get to… hm.) ANYWAY. But yeah for this one, they’re going undercover as husband & husband.

Tim’s undercover persona… I’m split between something with tech or working as a mechanic. (Hush.) Jason… hmm. College TA or going for a college degree, so he’s mostly the stay at home/house husband type. Or maybe one or both of them should have a career that calls for traveling a lot?? Hm.

Both of them expect themselves and/or the other to kind of struggle with it. For multiple reasons! The first being that they have feelings for the other—there’s a part of me that actually wants to make one of them (probably Tim) oblivious to their own feelings until a week or so into the charade & have a sudden realization? But also I like the idea of both of them going into it knowing that they like each other and resolving not to let it affect things. They both also expect to miss vigilante work, because while they’re able to go out occasionally it’s not like either of them are used to.

And while it’s definitely difficult to find things to occupy their time with at first… it’s not as hard as they expect.

Thinking they adopt an animal fairly early on (thinking it should be a stray they start feeding & fall in love w). I’m leaning hard on the idea of a cat but a dog could be fun too lmao. There’s a lot of joking arguments about post-case custody but then those peter off as they start letting their roles bleed over into their lives.

And then. The case ends. They get the intel they needed, bust the operation, and it’s time for Tim & Jason to quietly pack up and leave.

Thinking the last couple of days they spend as their fake identities are awkward. They can’t find the ease they had before because they know they’re about to leave, so when they’re not actively performing for their neighbors… they’re more withdrawn.

And then they both go to their separate homes. Thinking Jason got primary custody of their dog or cat? But I could be convinced for Tim as well. Anyway. Both of them feel a little hollow; like they’re missing something. They cant stop thinking about their life together, how *real* it felt & how much they miss waking up to the other. How much they miss even the idiosyncrasies they used to argue over. (Even if at least half of those idiosyncrasies were made up for the persona. They still know each other well enough to know which ones were real and which were fake… & they find themselves wondering which parts of their private lives they left out, good and bad, what living together would *really* be like.)

Eventually one of them makes an excuse to go see the other—to check in on the cat/dog, obviously. And maybe there’s an awkward invitation to keep visiting, and a sort of. Ambiguous/open ending with an obvious/hopeful slant for them to be a couple in the future.

And then maybe an epilogue / one shot sequel set a few months in the future with a look at their established life <3333

[ send me an AU & i’ll give you at least 5 things i would include in it ]

[ragnarokhound]

Ooh what about...Teacher au, actor au, and pokémon au. Ships open to whatever but jason in them preferred 👀

For the AU ask game!

THESE ARE ALL SO GOOD, YOU ARE CRACKING ME OPEN LIKE AN EGG (like with a previous ask i might answer one and then maybe circle back with a reblog or smth to answer the others fjdlsaja WE'LL SEE IF I HAVE TIME TODAY) and I'm jaytim til i die so that's what i'll be speculating on for the most part lmao

Teacher au... oh the hot gossip that would fly in that staff lounge...

Five fun facts about a teacher au I'd write:

Jason teaches either english or drama. Or maybe he would teach drama IF admin hadn't fucking cut the drama program last year and left them to organize a club instead. "there's no funding" they say, and yet the basketball team is getting all new equipment, all new buses (not even district-assigned! their OWN BUS), a whole new fucking facility--

Tim is the basketball coach. (He teaches math/comp sci/engineering). Drama ensues.

(The basketball team went to state last year Mr. Todd, sorry if success means getting more interest and therefore funding from the community, but maybe there's a lesson to be learned here) (>:0 he did NOT)

Principal Wayne doesn't play favorites (except he totally does, Principal Grayson at their sister school in Blüdhaven applied for that job specifically to get away from the bullshit. He wishes he could have sniped Babs as his office manager, but she's too entrenched. RIP) but Tim is obviously Bruce's newest, shiniest hire and after Jason came back from medical leave (motorcycle accidents suuuuuuck) he's extremely miffed to see what's been changed in his absence

Real conflict would take place when one of Tim's star players tries out for the school play and gets the lead role because Jason can see that this kid has talent AND THEY NEED THAT. (Drake is, unfortunately, correct; if they can take their production of Chicago to the National Drama Festival, then maybe they'll get the support they need to reinstate the drama program. Or whatever. UGH) Tim is pissed because this kid has a shot at playing professionally and this could fuck his chances if he's not giving his A-game during championships this year. Cue no longer passive but rather outright aggressive arguments between Mr. Todd and Mr. Drake BOILING with sexual tension while, idk who, Jon Kent probably Does His Best to be a teenager lmao

(BONUS FUN FACT: they 100% fuck in their hotel at Dramafest, because of course the drama club made it, and of course Mr. Drake came along. To support his student, obviously. And not at all because Tim saw the play that winter to support Jon and saw how good he was and Jason got in his face about it after the show and all the tension from the whole semester boiled over and they made out backstage like they were teens themselves again. Not at all. That would be unprofessional and irresponsible.)

Oooh, what about 10, 19, and 29 for the ao3 wrapped

ao3 wrapped ♡

answering my first ask meme ( *︾▽︾) thank you azol uwu !!

10. what work was quickest to write?

baby imma show you how it's done was written in under six-ish hours. my wonderful friend aray had asked for jaytim smut where they're having so much fun, and that's exactly what it is - 2k of banter, laughter, and jason / tim trying to one up each other in bed.

19. what's one pairing you want to explore next year?

TIMDAMI / DAMITIM. not really sure what ship name most people use, but yes. my babies!! i have a bunch of wips for them already that some discord folks have seen, but i'll be posting snippets here too.

psst, timdami week is happening now so i hope you guys can participate!

29. favorite line / passage you wrote this year?

i don't think i could choose just one. batman was my return to writing after years of burnout and exhaustion and just not being happy with anything i was doing creatively. but i'm so proud of all the silly stories i've shared with you guys this year, so i'll share the excerpt / summary from my jaytim longfic, darkroom:

"Your hair's black." Tim's the one to break the silence. Jason shrugs. "Went on an undercover gig. The black and white skunk 'do isn't exactly subtle." Later, Tim knows Jason will blame it all on the alcohol—but when he leans in close with a half-lidded gaze, when he reaches up to tug at Jason's bangs where the lock of white should fall into his eyes… he also knows neither of them will be able to lie to himself. "What the hell are you doing?" Jason says sharply. "I like the way it usually looks. The white in your hair," Tim replies, voice thick. Jason's on his feet in an instant, warmth gone, leaving only anger. "You think you can say that shit like you know me? Like you like me?" "You're right. I don't know you." And yet you consume me, stays unsaid between them.

Jason doesn't know what he wants but never stops trying; Tim attempts to deal with his baggage (and fails spectacularly at it). It's no simple feat, finding where they stand with the family—so maybe they should figure out where they stand with each other, first.

"Tell me why we're doing this again?" Roy asks, throwing his wash kit back into his duffle bag.

Jason blinks, skin itching to buy another carton of cigarettes from the vending machine despite having just finished the last. "Doing what?"

Roy looks unimpressed and narrows his eyes on Jason. "Doing dirty work for the bats, running ourselves ragged," he pauses to zip up his bag, "going to  Gotham ."

Can You Use Pressure Treated Wood Indoors? Discover the Pros and Cons!

Pressure-treated wood should not be used indoors due to the potential release of harmful chemicals. However, it is widely used for outdoor projects such as decks, fences, and landscaping.

Using Pressure Treated Wood Indoors

Pressure-treated wood is commonly used for outdoor projects such as decks, fences, and raised garden beds. But can you use pressure-treated wood indoors? This is a question that often arises when homeowners are considering using this type of wood for interior projects. In this article, we will explore what pressure-treated wood is, the pros and cons of using it indoors, and ultimately help you make an informed decision for your specific needs.

What Is Pressure Treated Wood? Pressure-treated wood refers to lumber that has undergone a process where it is infused with chemicals to enhance its durability and resistance to insects, rot, and decay. This process involves placing the wood in a pressure chamber and applying chemicals under high pressure. The most common chemical used is chromated copper arsenate (CCA), although alternative chemicals such as alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ) or copper azole (CA) have become more popular due to environmental concerns. Pros Of Using Pressure-Treated Wood Indoors Using pressure-treated wood indoors has its fair share of advantages. Here are some of the pros: - Increased lifespan: Pressure-treated wood is well-known for its ability to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, which means it will also offer a longer lifespan when used indoors. This can be particularly beneficial in areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms or basements. - Resistance to insects and decay: The chemical treatment of pressure-treated wood creates a barrier that deters insects and prevents rot and decay. This can be advantageous if you are concerned about potential pest infestations or moisture damage. - Cost-effectiveness: Pressure-treated wood is generally more affordable than other types of wood that offer similar levels of durability and resistance. It can be a practical choice if you are on a budget but still want a long-lasting material. Cons Of Using Pressure-Treated Wood Indoors While pressure-treated wood may seem like a versatile choice for indoor projects, there are some drawbacks to consider: - Chemical exposure: The chemicals used in pressure-treated wood, although effective in preserving the wood, can potentially release toxins into the air. This can be a concern, especially in enclosed spaces with poor ventilation. It's important to note that modern pressure-treated wood alternatives, such as ACQ or CA, have lower toxicity levels compared to CCA. - Appearance: Pressure-treated wood tends to have a distinct greenish tint due to the chemicals used in the treatment process. This may not suit everyone's aesthetic preferences, especially for interior projects where a more natural or decorative look is desired. - Limited variety: Pressure-treated wood is primarily available in a limited range of sizes and dimensions, which may not be conducive to certain indoor projects that require precise measurements or customizations. Now that you are familiar with the pros and cons of using pressure-treated wood indoors, you can make an informed decision based on your specific needs and preferences. Consider factors such as the location of the project, desired lifespan, and the potential impact on indoor air quality. It is also advisable to consult with a professional or knowledgeable supplier to ensure you choose the most suitable type of wood for your indoor project.

Frequently Asked Questions For Can You Use Pressure Treated Wood Indoors

Is It OK to Use Pressure-treated Wood Indoors? No, it is not recommended to use pressure-treated wood indoors. The chemicals used in pressure treatment can be toxic indoors. It is best to use alternative wood options that are safe for indoor use. Where Not To Use Pressure-treated Wood? Pressure-treated wood should not be used in interior applications such as indoor furniture or flooring. It should also be avoided in areas where it may come into direct contact with food or drinking water. Additionally, it's not suitable for use in playground equipment or decks that may be frequently exposed to bare skin. How Long Does Pressure-treated Wood Last Indoors? Pressure-treated wood can last indefinitely indoors since the treatment protects against decay and insect damage. However, its lifespan may vary depending on factors like wood quality, environmental conditions, and maintenance. With proper care and maintenance, pressure-treated wood can provide long-lasting durability and structural stability indoors. How Long Does It Take For Pressure-treated Wood To Dry Indoors? Pressure-treated wood typically takes about 2 to 6 months to dry indoors. It depends on the thickness, moisture content, and temperature. Proper ventilation and air circulation can speed up the drying process.

Conclusion

Pressure-treated wood can be used indoors, but caution should be exercised. While the treatment protects against rot and insect damage, the chemicals present in the wood can be harmful if not handled properly. It is important to ensure proper ventilation and avoid direct contact with the wood. Additionally, it is advisable to seal the wood to minimize the release of chemicals. Ultimately, using pressure-treated wood indoors requires careful consideration and adherence to recommended safety guidelines. Read the full article

Scope of the Report of Antifungal Agents

Antifungal agents are the substances that inhibit the spread of fungi by killing fungal cells or spores or preventing their growth with minimal toxicity to the host. The mechanism of action of antifungals involves the inhibition of fungal membrane and cell wall synthesis, alternation of fungal membranes, effects on microtubules and inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis. The fungal infections include some kinds of dandruff, ringworm, vaginal infection, athlete’s foot and nail infection. They are primarily used to combat infections in immunocompromised individuals and post-transplantation

Talk dirty JayKon marching band au to me? 🙏

Oh boy, so this au was created half for petty reasons and half nostalgia.

So in marching band there's always rumors about the low brass guys having sex with each other (like more so than band kids normally do lol) and honestly Kon gives me major low brass vibes.

And since he and Jason are the same (physical) age, I was like "yeah, both of them are band kids from the same grade". Just a silly little marching band au with casual relationships like Jason and Kon's platonic friends with benefits (what a sentence).

Basically it was a way to do a high school au with Jason that doesn't make him a jock for some reason or like way older than everyone else.

And for a snippet

The closest thing Jason could compare kissing Kon to is...comfort. He wasn't the jittery butterflies of a first girlfriend like Rena. And despite his nature, Kon isn't like the thrown gauntlet, a taunt and challenge at once, that was kissing Rose. He was... nice. Like a worn sweatshirt that has softened to the perfect feel after wearing it so often. Or a bike path so we'll acquainted that you could turn off your brain and enjoy the moment, steady rhythm in your blood and a nice breeze through your hair. Even if Jason did have the relevant experience, he wouldn't call Kon home, but he was someone who could kiss him in the middle of playing Pokémon and go back to the game without ruining the mood.

[ladytauria]

Oooh for the ask game how about....voice actor au or single parent au. And pairings...hm, I'd like anything with Jason but actually I wanna see what you cook.

[[ i am working on a response to the voice actor au request as well but i think it’s going to take me a bit longer because i’m indecisive 😂 so i’m posting this one now and i’ll post that one when it’s done~ ]]

i actually have a single dad jason + eventual jaytim au in my notes. well i have more than one but this one is the most fleshed out (edit: ah… i was trying to type up a streamlined version but i ended up fleshing a couple more things out… it’s still shorter but. not as short as i was aiming for 😂)

Tim has been away from Gotham for a while—spreading his wings, developing who he is as a vigilante outside of Gotham (and Bruce). He returns after about a year, I think. During that year, Jason ended up with a kid. I have a few different ideas on how, lol, but regardless of her origin, Jason has a kid & he’s utterly wrapped around her finger, lmao. Tim knew that he had a kid but knowing is different from seeing it in person and something about it draws him in.

Tim and Jason’s territories have enough overlap that they often had occasion to work together before Tim left, and that’s true now that he’s back, too. More frequent, even, since Jason prioritizes spending time with / taking care of his kid when he can.

While he does hold Tim at arm’s length at first, after time spent working together, he starts letting Tim in, bit by bit. It’s a lot of little moments, building on each other. I think the biggest turning point is when he invites Tim over to eat before patrol, because he doesn’t think Tim eats enough real, hearty food xD And then that becomes a semi-regular thing—something Tim comes to cherish; bonding with Jason and his daughter.

He gets to know them, both of them. The tiny imperfections, the day-to-day mannerisms and habits, the little idiosyncrasies that make up who they are. And then one day, Tim looks up and realizes that he’s fallen in love with Jason, wants to be part of his and his daughter’s lives as something more than just Jason’s co-worker or friend… and that absolutely terrifies him.

Being with Jason is now about more than just… being with Jason. There’s a kid involved too, and… Tim doesn’t want to mess her life up. He’s not exactly the most stable of people.

But then something goes wrong on patrol, and Jason is captured, or cut off from everyone else. He needs rescue. The others mount a rescue, and Tim… he almost joins them. But… his first thought after, We need to find Jason, is about the kid. It’s true there are other people who could watch her, people Jason trusts… but most of them are outside of Gotham. So Tim chooses to trust the others to find and rescue Jason, and focuses on taking care of Jason’s daughter instead.

The others do manage to rescue Jason. He’s been injured & will be laid up a while, but he’ll heal. As soon as it’s okay to do so, Tim brings the kid to see him. After she’s assured that her dad is okay, Jason gets her talking about what she’s been up to while he was gone. And ofc, a lot of what she talks about is Tim, and the normalcy he did his best to give her.

She tires out eventually and falls asleep in Jason’s arms. Jason thanks Tim for caring for her, which Tim brushes off. No big deal, she’s a great kid, anyone would have done it. Jason’s not buying it though. He knows how hard it is to sit on the sidelines, for any of them. He also knows how devoted Tim is to the cause, to the Mission. Him choosing to set that aside for Jason’s kid is a big deal, even if it was only a short while.

Tim’s feelings aren’t one-sided—but Jason had a lot of the same fears Tim did. That he wouldn’t put her first. This is just one time, but it makes him hopeful for the future. So obviously Jason makes a move.

Tim argues, of course. Jason contradicts him with evidence, of the last few weeks. Of how Tim has already made her a priority, and this is just the most obvious sign yet. Tim tells him he’s scared. He has no idea how to be a parent.

“What, and you think I do?” Jason demands, brows knitted.

“Yes? Jason, you’re so good with her. You’re an amazing father,” Tim says earnestly.

Jason flushes darkly. “I— Look, I gave up on the idea of having kids a long time ago. So when I got her… I mean, you remember. I was a mess. I had no idea what I was doing, and honestly? I still don’t. I fuck up. Probably more than I even realize. But— She’s worth it. And, god, Tim. You’re good with her. I think— You could. If you wanted.”

Tim swallows around the lump in his throat. “You’d really trust me with her?”

“I already do. And—hell. It’s not like you’d be doing it alone. You—” Jason’s flush spreads to his ears and down the back of his neck. “I’d have your back.”

Tim gets misty-eyed. He agrees, on the condition that they take it slow. Which Jason agrees to, because ofc they need to go slow with this. And uh… happily ever after? Eventually?

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ♥️

Thanks for the ask!! <33 Ohhh my favorite five fics I've written... how dare you make me choose not one but five favorite children lmao but in no particular order below the cut:

Sit, Stay, Speak - DC - Jaytim - Rated E Not my first attempt at Jason POV, but the first fic with Jason POV I actually finished :') I have such a soft spot for this fic because I adore both a) accidentally falling in love with someone in their absence and b) accidental vulnerability. Revealing inadvertently that you adore someone when you didn't think they were listening - and having that reciprocated. Hee hee hoo hoo ha ha

Handstands For You - Teen Wolf - Sterek - Rated E I know most of the folks who follow my fics are here for DC/Jaytim, but this is the fic I thank forever and always for getting me back into writing! Definitely proof to myself that I could do it, start, middle and end :) And if you like the way I write pining, werewolves, and a fun mystery that isn't really that mysterious, you may enjoy this one ;)

open my heart and let it bleed (onto yours) - DC- Jaytim - Rated E Speaking of werewolves, if you've read this one or been following me for longer than five minutes then you knew it would be on this list I think lmao. What can I say, I, tumblr user ragnarokhound, like werewolves (!) and think vampires should try dating them (!!) and biting them (!!!) and sharing the weight of their monstrosity more often (OTL) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Snapshots: Chapter 2 “Tell me to stay and I will be here for as long as you’ll have me.” - DC - Jaytim - Rated M I really enjoyed writing these hurt/comfort prompt fills last year(ish), and of the three I've gotten around to posting (OTL i will finish that last one... eventually... jaytim exchange comes first lmao) I had the most fun with this one! The batfam is riddled with trauma and while I haven't examined it very closely in some of my other fics, I really enjoyed digging into Jason in this one. Sorry buddy 😔but at least he's got a Tim to sit with, so... win? <3

not from the stars do i my judgment pluck - DC - Jaytim - Rated E I had a great (if wild and mildly stressful) time writing for jaytim week this year, and while I'm pleased with all of them (secretary fic takes the cake), this one is my favorite of the unexpected fics lol. It started with the last few paragraphs of the last scene, and while I wasn't planning on writing much at first, I needed to support them adequately fjdlsjfafds WE GOTTA EARN THAT BINARY STAR METAPHOR, OKAY, YOU DON'T JUST GET TO DROP THAT SHIT FOR FREE-- (And this is why I have a million WIPs OTL)

(And I barely restrained myself from including literally any of my Sorcerer's Son fics on this list, but thats because a) they are older and I've learned a lot since writing them and b) I know that maybe three people on this planet would care enough about those books to read them, and none of them follow me on tumblr dot com fjdlsfja.

Y'ALL DON'T UNDERSTAND. FELDAR SEPWIN THOUGHT HIS LIFE WOULD BE BRUTALLY OVER AT THE AGE OF 12 AND NOW HE IS A SEER WHO STEERS NOT ONLY HIS OWN DESTINY BUT THE DESTINIES OF OTHERS AND HE DESERVES A HOT, POWERFUL, CLUELESS HUSBAND CHILDHOOD-FRIENDS-TO-LOVERS STYLE, I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL BECAUSE I PILED THE DIRT ON THIS BEACH MYSELF--)

Cheap Decking Which Types of Decking Are Right For Your Home?

Adding a deck to your home is a great way to enjoy the outdoors. Decks are a great place to relax and entertain family and friends. They can also add value to your property.

There are a variety of materials available for decking. Some are more environmentally friendly than others. Some are even more affordable!

Treated pine

Pine decking is an affordable option that’s also sustainable. You’ll usually see it treated with a water-based preservative called Alkaline Copper Quaternary or (ACQ), or the more common Copper Boron Azole Type A or CBA-A. This chemical penetrates the wood to limit rot and insect infestation. For the best results, use treated pine that’s kiln-dried both before and after treatment. It should be designated for above-ground use, and special coated fasteners are required to avoid corroding.

However, treated pine is not as durable as other decking materials like composite and hardwood. It’s also less resistant to dents and scratches, so it might need replacing sooner than other materials.

If you’re looking for a low-maintenance deck, you might consider Trex. It costs about the same as treated pine, but it lasts longer and comes with a 25-year warranty. Ask your builders to give you quotes for both options, and compare the cost of annual and long-term maintenance to decide which is best for your needs.

Hardwood timber

Hardwoods are more expensive than softwoods but they offer a longer life and natural resistance to moisture. They also require less maintenance, but they do need to be re-sanded and re-sealed frequently to keep them looking their best.

Unlike composite boards, hardwood decks won’t sag between the joists after several years of use. They’re also more durable and scratch-resistant, making them an excellent choice for families with children and pets. They’re naturally resistant to fungi, and they don’t attract termites like composites do.

When selecting a hardwood for your deck, it’s important to look for chain of custody certification from FSC (r) or PFEC. These organizations work to ensure responsible harvesting and reforestation. They also help local communities gain value from their forests and protect water quality. The wood’s density is what makes it so durable, but it can rot if exposed to prolonged periods of dampness. It’s also more difficult to stain or cut due to its stiff grain.

Composite decking

Composites offer a number of advantages over traditional wood decking. They’re typically less costly and require much less maintenance than natural wood. They also have a wider range of color options and are more resistant to mold, rot, and fading. Some composites are even made from recycled materials.

Composite decking is installed using hidden fasteners, which allow for a clean, seamless look. These fasteners are inserted into a groove in the edge of each board, allowing for a smooth surface that doesn’t require nails or screws. They also reduce installation time by a fraction of what bamboo takes and eliminate the need for pre-drilling.

All-plastic decking, on the other hand, has a limited color palette and is not very environmentally friendly. It also releases toxic hydrogen chloride gas when it burns. Composites, on the other hand, are a safer choice, and come with a 25-year warranty. The composites made by Trex are compression-molded, ensuring they’re not prone to rotting or warping.

Azek

Azek decking is made from a cellular PVC material, making it more resistant to damage than other types of composite decking. Its plastic core also prevents it from absorbing moisture, which is one of the biggest causes of decking problems. It is also insect-resistant and will not chip or crack like a traditional wood deck.

While Azek decking is more expensive than Trex, it’s worth the investment for homeowners who want a long-lasting outdoor living space. It’s easy to clean and has a low maintenance cost. It also comes with a heat and color fade warranty, as well as mold growth resistance.

However, some Azek models perform poorly in stain tests. This is mostly true of older models that have a thin shell coating or no shell at all, and it can be hard to remove stains once they’ve set in. This is especially a problem if you drop something greasy on the deck. The good news is that newer Azek products look more natural and are improving their appearance all the time.
