What is Deckorators Venture decking made of?

Deckorators Venture decking is made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastic, creating a strong, dense composite core. Each board is capped on three sides with a durable polyethylene layer that protects against stains, scratches, and moisture. This design makes it more resistant to wear and tear than traditional wood. While it looks like real wood, it’s built to last longer with far less upkeep.

Is Deckorators Venture decking safe to install near the ground or water?

No, Venture decking is not rated for ground or water contact. Unlike Deckorators mineral-based collections, Venture is a traditional wood-plastic composite and needs proper airflow underneath to prevent moisture issues. It should be installed at least 2 inches above ground level. This helps maintain the deck’s structural integrity and avoids rot or mold over time.

What joist spacing and board gaps should I use with Deckorators Venture decking?

Use 16-inch on-center joist spacing for boards installed perpendicular to the joists, and 12-inch spacing for diagonal layouts. You’ll also want to leave a gap between deck boards – around 1/8″ in colder temperatures and 5/16″ in warmer weather – to account for expansion and contraction. Proper spacing ensures your deck performs well across the seasons and avoids buckling or warping.

Can I use hidden fasteners with Deckorators Venture decking?

Yes, hidden fasteners are fully compatible with the grooved-edge Venture boards. These provide a clean, fastener-free look while still holding the boards securely. For exposed edges or stairs, you’ll use solid-edge boards with color-matched screws and plugs. Whether you’re building a seamless surface or framing the deck, you’ll have flexible fastening options.

Do I need to predrill when fastening Deckorators Venture decking?

Predrilling is strongly recommended, especially when using solid-edge boards. The dense composite material can mushroom or crack if screws are forced in without a pilot hole. Predrilling gives a cleaner finish, prevents surface damage, and makes the job easier overall. You’ll also want to use screws specifically designed for composite materials.

Is Deckorators Venture decking fire-rated or WUI compliant?

Deckorators Venture decking has a Class C fire rating, which is standard for most traditional composite boards. However, it is not Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) compliant, so it should not be used in high-risk fire zones. If you live in an area with strict fire regulations, you’ll need to look into alternative decking options from Deckorators that meet those standards.

How do I clean and maintain Deckorators Venture decking?

Venture decking is low-maintenance and easy to care for. A simple rinse with a garden hose and mild soap will usually do the trick. For tougher grime, use a soft-bristle brush or low-pressure power washer. Unlike wood, it doesn’t need sanding, sealing, or staining – just basic cleaning to keep it looking great.

Will Deckorators Venture decking fade or scratch over time?

Thanks to its tough polyethylene cap, Venture decking is highly resistant to fading, staining, and surface scratches. The cap protects the color and grain pattern from UV damage and general wear. While no material is 100% scratch-proof, Venture holds up well against daily use, including foot traffic, patio furniture, and pets.

Is Deckorators Venture decking more affordable than other composite options?

Yes, Venture is designed to offer excellent performance at a lower price point. It’s a great option if you want the benefits of composite decking – like low maintenance and durability – without the cost of premium lines. You still get a stylish wood-grain look, capped protection, and a 25-year structural and stain/fade warranty, all at a more budget-friendly rate.
