A deck is basically an elevated floor extension that connects from the interior of the house to the exterior of the house. Decks are made to cover the ground which has too many rough pebbles that may be too uncomfortable to walk on. Basically a deck is an outdoor flooring. In residential homes, decks stretch up from the terrace of a house to the outside patio. However other uses of decks are found in seaside locations, where decks can be used to cover sand and pebbles which may be hard to walk on. In buildings, decks can be found in the roof top where people can gather to observe. Decking has many uses not only to provide outdoor floor to walk on but decking these days may also refer to the deck itself and the covering or roof or canopy for which to cover the decking.

There are also other decking structures which are made purely of plastic or PVC. Synthetic materials for decking provide durable and low maintenance decks which can even be more affordable compared to wood.

In fact, synthetic material such as composites, plastic and PVC are physically painted and designed to look as if they are natural wood.

For other types of decks such as roof decks, observation decks, verandas and patios, other materials can be used in place of wood. In fact, other types of decking may require very easy installation.
