A person wearing protective gloves and safety glasses is marking a piece of lumber with a green pencil and a metal square. The setting appears to be an outdoor construction or woodworking site. The individual is dressed in a plaid shirt, and the gloves have visible text. The focus is on precision measurement and preparation for cutting.

DIY Checklist

Building your dream deck starts with prepping: scoping your backyard, planning furniture placement, and gathering tools.

Plan My Build
Two adults are working together on the installation of composite deck boards in an outdoor setting. One person is kneeling and gesturing, while the other operates a power saw, surrounded by construction tools and materials. The scene features a partially completed deck, wooden posts, and a tool belt, suggesting a collaborative building project.

Install Your First Trex Deck

Take your deck from start to finish from pouring your foundation all the way to securing your railing.

Get Started
The image shows a partially completed composite deck installation, with brown planks being laid over a wooden frame. Various construction tools and a white bucket are visible on the deck surface, indicating ongoing work. The setting appears to be an outdoor residential area, with a focus on the neat alignment of the decking boards. No people are present in the scene, and no visible text or numbers can be seen.

Resurface an Existing Deck

If your boards are worn but the deck's foundation and framing are solid, simply replace them with Trex decking and railing.

Learn How
