![]() When compared to competing boards that offer the same pre-finished capping, Veranda competes quite well because it offers exceptional value at an affordable price closest to wood. It’s long-lasting, mold- and mildew-resistant, and uses clean-looking hidden fasteners during installation, a feature often found in more premium composite decking brands. Veranda composite decking is ideal for consumers who have decided not to use wood for their decks but do not want to spend thousands of money on premium composite boards. The company recommends cleaning the decks using soapy water and a scrub brush at least twice a year, so no debris sticks to the boards permanently. If you want to paint the color of your deck, note that Veranda doesn’t recommend doing so and you’re stuck with the original color like most composite decks. Veranda composite decking is backed by a 25-year stain, fade, and performance limited warranty when used in residential settings and a 10-year warranty on all commercial settings. To be sure, check the installation manual Most brands provide a comprehensive guide to install fascia the right way since it could affect the resulting look of your composite decking. Exact measurements will vary between brands and other factors. There should always be a gap between the top of the fascia and the bottom of your deck boards. Even if you installed your Veranda composite decks properly, if the footings aren’t deep enough, the deck won’t be able to adapt to the expansion and contraction of Veranda boards during extreme weather conditions. Consider Veranda’s expansion/contraction and depth of concrete footing. ![]() ![]() Check with your local building code about what deck support requirement is needed before you start installing the Veranda composite decking. In most cases, you’d need 2×10-inch joists to be spaced 16- to 24-inches apart. If you don’t see any, you may have to add several of these screws to support your house’s existing frame. While you’re at it, check if the ledger board is equipped with lag screw heads. The ledger board should be fastened to the frame of the house correctly. Installing your Veranda boards properly begins with the right prep.
