Material mistake Monday

One of the most common mistakes I see when building on the coast is treating galvanized and stainless steel as if they're the same thing.

Galvanized hardware has its place, but when you're building near saltwater, exposure matters. The closer you get to the coast, the faster corrosion becomes a factor.

I've seen well-built projects start having problems long before the lumber fails simply because the wrong fasteners or hardware were used.

Stainless steel isn't always necessary, and galvanized isn't always wrong. The key is understanding where each belongs and matching the hardware to the environment.

Most people don't think about their decking until problems start showing up.

Warping. Cracking. Splintering. Swelling. Rotting.

It's why more homeowners, builders, and property owners are taking a closer look at alternative, more sustainable decking materials.

Tangent HDPE decking is the solution to all of these issues. Unlike traditional wood decking, it's designed to eliminate many of the maintenance and durability issues that come with natural wood over time. Tangent won't splinter, warp, swell, stain, or absorb any moisture at all!

Tangent is designed to be a forever decking product, great for traditional or marine applications.
