A wooden deck is an outdoor platform made from timber, typically attached to a house or building. It provides a flat surface for various activities, such as dining, relaxing, or entertaining. Wooden decks can be built at different heights and are often surrounded by railings for safety. These structures are popular for their natural appearance and versatility. Common types of wood used for decks include cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated lumber. Regular maintenance, such as sealing and staining, is essential to protect the wood from weather damage and prolong its lifespan.
