Aluminum Decking

I have big issues with aluminum decking and don’t really understand why others don’t have the same issues as me. It makes no sense that there are people out there that just don’t go along with this way of thinking. There are so many issues involved in the process of aluminum decking that just don’t get addressed by people and it is always a wonder to me that they aren’t addressed. The problem to me is that there is never a type of weather that is good for aluminum decking No matter what the weather is outside I can never go out on aluminum decking in my bare feet and in some cases even with boots on the stuff can be terrible. On a really hot day all you want to do is go outside, hang out on your porch, smoke a cigarette, drink a beer, whatever, but as soon as you set foot on your deck you’ll realize that the aluminum decking has absorbed all the heat from the sun and it feels like you’re standing directly on the sun. You could get second degree burns from this. This is an actual possibility and not one that I’m comfortable with.

If it is too cold outside then the problem with the decking is that it absorbs all the cold. You want to go outside and enjoy the cold and all of the sudden your feet feel like they’re frozen to the decking. It just makes no sense to use aluminum. Another problem is that even if it is warm outside it feels like all the heat outside is concentrated to the deck. Your feet are going to hurt a lot no matter what you do and this is a big issue. Same thing if it is a bit too cold outside. There is not much you can do about it either. The worst thing though is if it is wet. Cause when it is wet the aluminum decking becomes slick with water. Whereas with a wood deck it would just absorb the water and become damp, the puddles will just collect on the aluminum area and will cause you to sleep. This is a serious concern and could actually cause horrible damage to you, something that you don’t want to risk, probably. I still have yet to see someone come up with a reason that having an aluminum deck is better than having a wood one and I doubt that anyone will ever be able to make that argument effectively.
