“A deck is only as good as the frame nobody sees. Steel lets us hand our clients a deck that stays flat, stays solid, and outlives the wood frames everyone is used to replacing.” \u2014 Iaroslav Streapan, Founder, Decksforlife<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Decksforlife offers the lifetime deck\u201a which uses the Fortress Evolution steel framing system\u2024 Instead of building wood framing\u201a decksforlife uses galvanized powder-coated steel for all their deck frames\u2024 The result is a level deck base that is rot and fire resistant and carries its own 25-year warranty\u2024 Combined with high quality composite or PVC decking\u201a the resulting deck will last generations\u2024<\/div>\n

Deck builder Decksforlife builds decks for backyards to last generations‚ with the Fortress Evolution steel framing system standard structural framing for every deck they construct\u2024 Unlike wood framing which will rot‚ warp‚ and sag under most decks‚ Decksforlife’s galvanized steel framing which is black powder coated will not lose its shape or strength over the course of decades\u2024<\/p>\n

This is where rot usually starts\u2024 Not on the surface‚ but where you can’t see it in the joists or beams underneath\u2024 The joists can twist and swell‚ the beams can twist‚ separate and rot long before any of those surface boards begin to fail\u2024 This means you’re stuck with a beautiful deck on a rotten frame\u2024 This was the problem that Decksforlife’s lifetime deck offering was built to solve\u2024<\/p>\n

A frame that doesn’t rot‚ and remains level<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fortress Evolution framing is galvanized steel powder coated black\u2024 It is rust-resistant‚ corrosion-resistant‚ more durable than wood‚ and impervious to the elements that destroy wood\u2024 The steel framing is resistant to rotting; it will not warp‚ split‚ or splinter‚ nor will it be damaged by insects\u2024 It also maintains its shape and consistency over the deck’s full life\u2024 No crowning\u2024 No cracking\u2024 No knots to work around\u2024<\/p>\n

Because all of the components are machine cut to one specific shape‚ the frame builds flat and remains flat throughout its entire life\u2024 This leaves homeowners with a dead level deck surface that remains level under heavy loads and seasonal changes\u2024 The black powder coat protects from corrosion and matches the deck above and structure below‚ so the structure looks finished from every angle\u2024<\/p>\n

The system is rated Class A‚ the highest rating for fire resistance in building materials‚ making it a good choice for areas where fire may be a concern\u2024 The steel has the additional benefit of being noncombustible compared to wood\u2024<\/p>\n

It carries a 25-year warranty\u2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also‚ confidence is improved by the 25 year limited warranty on Fortress Evolution steel framing against fabrication defects\u2024 This warranty includes the structural integrity of the frame‚ and for homeowners looking to build a deck viewed as a long term investment‚ this warranty puts a potentially hidden risk on the table\u2024<\/p>\n

The deck becomes effectively infinite with premium surface boards<\/strong><\/p>\n

A lifetime frame needs a lifetime deck\u2024 Decksforlife uses the Fortress Evolution steel frame with composite or PVC decking\u2024 The composite and PVC decking outlasts wood because it outperforms wood against fading‚ staining‚ moisture absorption and surface wear\u2024 When a frame that will not rot meets boards that will not break down‚ you have a deck with no built-in expiration date\u2024 The weak link is gone from top to bottom\u2024<\/p>\n

It will work with any brand or type of decking‚ and permitted custom colors‚ textures‚ and styles without disrupting its supportive system below\u2024 From foundation to finish surface‚ this build outlasts the typical replacement cycle that wood decks force on owners every decade or two\u2024<\/p>\n
