WPC decking uses fasteners and techniques similar to traditional wood fencing and decking products. To receive the maximum performance from WPC materials and to minimize the possibility of rust staining, it is recommended that hot dipped galvanized or stainless steel nails or screws be used. 2x4 composite decking
Because WPC decking is formulated as a more dense material than traditional wood fencing and decking, greater force is required to drive nails into EPOCH™ products, especially when installing in cold temperatures.
When installing fasteners into WPC decking always wear safety gloves and glasses. When installing nails in colder temperatures, pre-drilling fastener holes not larger than 3/4 the diameter of the shaft of the fastener being used is recommended. When using self-tapping screws, pre-drilling is not usually necessary. 2x6 composite lumber

Homeowners living along a river or tidal area where the water levels continuously rise and fall should consider a floating dock using Latitudes Intrepid boards. Floating docks are typically built by constructing the underframe first, which is then secured to a series of 50 gallon plastic barrels running the length of the dock. Latitudes deck boards would be installed as the top walking surface. With the dock anchored to shore, piers made of pressure-treated lumber should be installed every 12' to prevent drift. The dock should then be attached to each pier by a durable, loose-fitting ring that allows the dock to move up and down with the motion of the water and the changing level of the water. 2x4x12 plastic lumber
If it's time to replace your whole deck, you might want to consider using composite lumber decking in your new design. Composite decking continues to grow in popularity due to its low maintenance and durability. Today's composite decking is much different than past options because the designs closely mimic the natural look of wood. Latitudes composite decking, for example, features a more natural-looking surface with a realistic grain pattern available in a variety of colors. Plus it's backed by a 25-year stain and fade warranty, so it's guaranteed to look great on your home for a long time, making it a wise investment.
If you plan to host dinner parties consider building a separate section where a table with plenty of seating will fit. If an outdoor kitchen is in the plans you'll want to make sure it's positioned near the dining area for easy access. Keep relaxation and reading areas simple with smaller spaces. And for adding a raised fire pit area, a cozy round deck space works great—size of this area will vary, but should be large enough to host friends and family. This deck area should allow for guests to move around while not getting too close to the hot surface of the raised fire pit. 2x6 composite decking
