YOUR
DECKING CHECKLIST
1 PLAN YOUR DECK
Before installing any Trex® product, you should review local building
codes and regulations, and consult with local building officials to ensure
compliance and safety.
2 SELECT YOUR DECKING
Consider the maintenance and durability differences between wood,
traditional composite and high-performance composite decking,
so you can choose what’s right for you.
3
4 CHOOSE YOUR RAILING
Complement your decking with railing that fits your home’s
aesthetic. Explore our recommended railing duos to see top
picks for your decking color.
3 DESIGN YOUR COLOR SCHEME
When a new deck means added property value, you want it to look
its best and suit the style of your home. The Trex Hideaway® Universal
Fasteners creates a flawless, screw-free finish preferred by homeowners
everywhere. Just ask your contractor to install them with your design.
5 ADD THE FINISHING TOUCHES
Plan ahead for any built-in features like outdoor seating or lighting.

A step-by-step guide to a backyard refresh
Every deck takes a little planning. For starters, consider how you want to
use your deck. Once you have an idea in mind, you’ll be able to determine a good
size, select materials and design the railing. We’ll walk you through it.
PLAN YOUR DECK
How will
you light
your deck?
Will you
need railing
or stairs?
Will there be
more than
one level?
Do you
mind visible
deck screws?
Do you mind
regular painting
and staining?
How much
seating space
will you need?
Do you want
room for a grill
or dining space?
Will there be
multiple exits
and entrances?
Do you
want built-in
seating?

SECTION 1 PLAN YOUR DECK
SIZE
When designing a deck, it’s important to make sure your outdoor space has exactly that—space.
Whether that’s room for a grill or a row of chaise lounge chairs, you’ll want to plan the size of your
deck around how you’ll use it. Check out these popular deck sizes to see what’s the right fit for you.
One of the most common
sizes, a 12 x 16 foot deck can
hold a small table, 2-3 chairs
and a few decorative planters.
12 x 16
With a more rectangular
shape, a 12 x 20 foot deck
nicely fits a small table,
4 chairs, a grill and plants.
12 x 20
A 12 x 24 foot deck is ideal for
outdoor dining, giving you room
for a large table, chairs, a grill
with outdoor cabinetry, built-in
seating and planters.
12 x 24
7
A large, almost-square 16 x 20 foot
deck will let you create distinct
spaces for dining and relaxing.
This size deck holds a large table
with chairs, a grill, plants and
a secondary seating area.
16 x 20
For unparalleled drama, nothing
beats a custom-built deck with
multiple levels, built-in seating,
separate dining and lounging areas
and seamlessly integrated lighting.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE
COMPOSITE
With nature inspired looks and
a tough-as-nails finish, high-performance
composite outlasts the elements with
very little maintenance.
TRADITIONAL COMPOSITE
A mix of wood and plastic, traditional
composite is the first-generation
wood-alternative board.
TREATED WOOD
For purists, wood has a natural look
with a pleasing heft.
Before relaxing outdoors, you’ll have to decide what’s going under your feet. Choosing
a decking material has both short-term effects—namely, cost and installation—as well
as long-term considerations like ongoing maintenance and perennial beauty.

CHOOSE YOUR RAILINGSECTION 4
When people look at your deck, they’ll see the railing before anything else. Be sure to choose
a design approach that fits your style and pairs well with your home. We’ve made it easier
to sort through all the options by highlighting the three most popular approaches.
CONTRAST IT
By introducing a new color in the railing,
you can add a modern flair to your deck.
CHANGE IT UP
Go beyond the norm with some of these
carefully curated combinations.
COORDINATE IT
Try a matching railing to make your deck
feel cozy and well-coordinated.
19
Here a cocktail rail perfectly matches the deck board and balusters pick up the dark streaks in the wood grain. It all comes together for a classic, timeless yet modern look where every piece complements the other.
Here the railing moves in the opposite direction of the decking—Classic White looks crisp against the deep brown. If you choose a light decking board, you can achieve a contrasted look by selecting a darker color railing.
Here’s where things get really daring. Dark railings and balusters complement the deck boards while contrasting with the Classic White post, creating a look that is a mixture of textures and colors—truly curated variety.featuring: Trex Outdoor Furniture Rockport Collection

Railing Essentials
For each deck color, we’ve designed three railing looks that coordinate to
the decking, contrast it and change it up. See below to learn about all the
components that go into picture-perfect railing.
POSTS
These sturdy vertical poles keep rails in line
and can be outfitted with decorative caps
and skirts
RAILS
Both top and bottom rails are designed
to keep railing straight and beautiful, with
several colors and profiles to choose from
BALUSTERS
Maintaining space and safety, these vertical
pickets come in a range of styles and colors
COCKTAIL RAIL (optional)

a universal top rail to create a flat surface
for holding drinks and more
