Build a Deck From the Ground Up

The Fortress Evolution Steel Deck Framing line is made from noncombustible material and features a rich black powder-coat finish for a sleek look. The coated steel framing pieces are also invulnerable to rotting, warping, splitting, and pesky insect damage for a deck you can truly relax on.
The Fortress Evolution system consists of 5 basic components creating a quick and straightforward frame build! Simply plan out your overall deck design including the outward measurements, double-check the Evolution span charts, and plan out your material list. Using ledgers, joists, beams, posts, and brackets assemble your Fortress Evolution frame in just hours using the standard Fortress Evolution installation screws.
Low-Maintenance Decking
Give your outdoor area a pristine feel and rugged look from the very beginning with a quick DIY install of composite decking. Composite deck boards feature a durable outer capstock layer that showcases multi-tonal shades and finishes representing natural hardwood boards while the tough inorganic center remains water, mold, insect, and splinter resistant.
With the top composite decking brands in stock and available to ship out today, your family can have a brand new outdoor space by the weekend! Choose from customer-favorite lines such as Trex or TimberTech to perfectly complete your deck aesthetic.
Keep your deck building process moving smoothly with convenient and concealed hidden deck fasteners attaching your composite deck boards in place. Securing into the side edges of grooved composite deck boards and anchoring into the deck joist below, the majority of hidden deck fasteners can be set in place, and driven in completely in one single pass!
Browse proprietary hidden deck clips such as the Trex Hideaway system, the Phantom Univeral Fastener from Fiberon, or the Deckorators' Stowaway Hidden Fastener. Or choose the incredibly straightforward Barrette Step-Clip Hidden Fastening System which you simply attach to the joists and walk across the boards for a complete install!
Deck Railing
For a deck railing design that homeowners and builders of any skill level can build, choose one of the Century Railing lines to fulfill your dream deck layout! Choose from the Century Scenic Glass Panel railing for a clear and open view of the backyard beyond or the Century Aluminum Picket railing line for a strong, modern look.
Century Aluminum top and bottom rails are pre-punched and slotted to accommodate the included Century Pickets, making the building process a breeze. These kits also come with spacer clips for pickets, ensuring equal spacing and a rattle-free railing that is basically maintenance-free. For most level railing installations, keep the time short with pre-installed brackets for End, Corner, and Line posts for the Century Railing system. Skip the measuring and mounting of your deck railing brackets and spend more time enjoying your home's outdoor space with the ease of the Century Aluminum Pre-Bracketed Post Kits.
Or gain the luxurious feel and atmosphere that glass railing delivers right at your very own home with the inexpensive Scenic Glass Panel Railing line. With no bulky top and bottom rails stealing attention from the view beyond, only the smooth tempered edges of the glass panel stand between you and the nature of your backyard.
