Local conditions
Rain, shade and rock
The North Shore gets more rain than the rest of the Lower Mainland, and tall conifers keep many decks in shade. Wood decks go green fast, which is why low-maintenance boards and covers are so popular.
Footings can run into rock close to the surface on some lots and deep, soft soil on others. Prices here also tend to run higher than in the Fraser Valley.
