Forsyth Decks · Material options

Good work
starts with good materials.

We work with Trex and redwood, with kiln-dried redwood available on request.

Talk through materials

Deck surfaces

Trex or redwood.
Quality materials.

Trex composite decking samples in a range of colors
01

Trex

Trex composite decking offers a wood-inspired look with less upkeep, without the regular staining or sealing natural wood needs.

Redwood

Redwood brings warm color and natural grain to your deck, with natural resistance to decay. Kiln-dried redwood is available on request.

Material selection depends on your project. We’ll review the options with you before moving ahead.

Railing

finishes the deck.

We offer Cinch, hog panel, wire, and wood picket railing.

Armstrong-Clark

Armstrong-Clark

We use and recommend Armstrong-Clark wood stains for 90% of our decks. For redwood and other natural wood surfaces, we’ll help you choose a stain color and finish that suits your deck.

Wood stains are for natural wood, not Trex composite decking. Final color varies with the wood and its condition; we recommend checking a sample on your deck.

See stain colors
Armstrong-Clark stain colors: Natural Tone, Cedar Tone, Redwood Tone, Cedar, Natural Oak, Rustic Brown, Chestnut, Sierra Redwood, Driftwood, Espresso, Oxford Brown, Sequoia, Woodland Brown, Mountain Cedar, Mahogany, Amber, and Black Walnut.
