Choosing decking is about more than just color. It is about how you want your outdoor space to feel and how much maintenance you want to deal with long term.

Trex decking has become a popular choice for homeowners because it offers the look of wood without the constant staining, sealing, splintering, and upkeep traditional decks often require.

We carry a wide range of Trex samples and colors in store so you can actually compare tones, textures, and finishes side by side instead of trying to guess from a tiny screen online.

Whether you are going for warm natural wood tones, modern gray finishes, or something bold and clean, seeing the boards in person makes a huge difference when planning your project.

If a new deck is on your project list this year, stop by Tri City Lumber and explore the options with us. We are always happy to help answer questions and help you compare products for your space, budget, and goals.

Deck staining is not just about picking a color. Preparation and application make a huge difference in how the final result looks and how long it lasts.

A few important application tips straight from the guide:

• Wood moisture should be under 15% before staining
• Ideal application temperatures are between 50 and 90 degrees
• Stir stain occasionally during application to keep pigments evenly mixed
• Protect surrounding concrete and landscaping from spills or overspray
• For decks, applicator pads are often recommended for the smoothest finish

And once you finish staining:

• Wipe down the deck within 1 hour to prevent tacky spots
• Use mineral spirits for cleanup
• Avoid walking on the deck for at least 24 to 48 hours
• Properly dry oily rags before disposal

One of the biggest mistakes people make is rushing prep or skipping application steps. A little extra time upfront can dramatically improve how evenly stain absorbs and how long your deck holds up.

If you have questions about products, prep, application tools, or what your specific deck needs, stop by Tri City Lumber and we are happy to help.

Tri City Lumber is closed today, for Memorial Day, as we take time to remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Memorial Day is more than just a long weekend. It is a reminder that the freedoms we enjoy every day came at an incredible cost to countless families across generations.

We are deeply grateful to those who made the ultimate sacrifice and to the families who continue to carry that loss.

From all of us at Tri City Lumber, we wish everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day as we pause to remember those who never made it home.
