Local conditions
Sun in Tsawwassen, slopes in North Delta
Tsawwassen gets more sun than most of the Lower Mainland, so heat on dark composite boards and UV fade on stain are real considerations. Lighter colours and covered areas help.
North Delta's ravines and slopes push decks up off the ground, which brings guards, stairs and permits into play. In Ladner the ground is flat and wet, so frame protection under low decks matters most.
