Foxfield's Premier Composite & PVC Deck Builder

Homeowners across Foxfield, Colorado are replacing aging wood decks with premium composite and PVC alternatives — and for good reason. The pressure-treated lumber on most Colorado decks lasts 10–15 years before rot, insects, and moisture compromise the structural integrity. By year 12, most wood decks have soft spots, wobbly railings, and deteriorating stair stringers that make them unsafe for your family.

Weatherguard Construction builds decks differently. We start with Owens Corning structural lumber for the three components that fail first: the ledger board (where the deck attaches to your house), posts, and stair stringers. OC Lumber is rotproof, rustproof, and rated for underwater contact — engineered to protect against what wood and steel simply cannot. Combined with proper frost-depth footings and code-compliant ledger flashing, our structural approach eliminates the #1 cause of deck failure in the Midwest. Want the ultimate build? Ask about upgrading your entire deck frame to OC Lumber.

At elevations between 5,000 and 6,500 feet along the Front Range, decking materials face a unique combination of threats: intense UV radiation that bleaches color, low humidity that dries and cracks wood, dramatic daily temperature swings of 40+ degrees, and heavy late-spring snowstorms that can dump two feet of wet snow on your deck overnight.

From multi-level entertainment decks with integrated lighting and privacy walls to simple platform decks that connect your home to your backyard, Weatherguard handles every step — permits, footings, framing, decking, railing, and final cleanup.

Deck Enhancements That Elevate Your Foxfield Outdoor Living

A great deck is more than boards and railings — it is a complete outdoor living environment. Weatherguard offers a full suite of enhancements that transform a simple deck into the centerpiece of your Foxfield home:

Premium Railing Systems

Your railing choice dramatically impacts both safety and style. We install railing systems from the industry's top manufacturers, including:

• Composite and PVC Rails: Color-matched TimberTech, Trex, and Fiberon rails that blend seamlessly with your deck boards for a unified, polished look.
• Aluminum Rails: Sleek, powder-coated aluminum systems from Westbury and Deckorators that provide unobstructed views and modern curb appeal. Available in black, bronze, and white finishes.
• Cable Rails: Stainless steel cable infill systems from Viewrail that create an open, contemporary aesthetic. Ideal for properties with scenic views you want to preserve.
• Glass Panel Rails: Tempered glass infill panels that provide wind protection and uninterrupted sightlines. The premium choice for elevated decks and waterfront properties.

Integrated Deck Lighting

Professional LED lighting extends your deck's usable hours well into the evening while creating inviting ambiance. We install recessed post cap lights, stair riser lights, under-rail accent strips, and perimeter landscape lighting — all on low-voltage LED systems that cost pennies per day to operate and last for years without bulb changes.

Privacy Walls and Wind Screens

Custom-designed horizontal slat privacy walls, louvered screens, and lattice panels provide seclusion from neighbors without sacrificing airflow or natural light. Available in matching composite, cedar, and aluminum materials.

Deck Skirting and Fascia

Finished skirting conceals the underside of raised decks, blocking debris buildup and pest access while creating a clean, polished appearance from every angle. We use color-matched composite fascia boards and ventilated lattice to ensure proper airflow beneath your deck structure.

Underdeck Drainage Systems

For raised decks, a ceiling-mounted drainage system captures rainwater running between deck boards and channels it away from the space below, creating a dry, usable patio area underneath your elevated deck — effectively doubling your outdoor living square footage.

Pergolas and Shade Structures

Freestanding or attached pergolas add architectural drama and provide adjustable shade coverage over your deck. We build with composite, cedar, and aluminum materials, including motorized louvered pergola systems that open and close at the touch of a button.

PVC Decking: Ultimate Durability for Colorado Weather

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) decking represents the pinnacle of low-maintenance outdoor living technology. Unlike composite — which contains wood fibers — PVC boards are made entirely from engineered polymer, making them completely impervious to moisture absorption. For Foxfield homes subjected to sub-zero temperatures, heavy snowfall, and persistent ice accumulation, PVC decking eliminates any risk of swelling, warping, or rot caused by trapped moisture freezing inside the board.

TimberTech AZEK — The Industry's Gold Standard in PVC

Weatherguard is a certified TimberTech installer, giving Foxfield homeowners access to the complete AZEK Advanced PVC lineup with enhanced warranty coverage:

• Vintage Collection: The ultra-premium tier featuring sought-after hardwood aesthetics with a refined wire-brushed finish and multitonal color blending. Colors include Weathered Teak, Mahogany, Coastline, English Walnut, Cypress, and Dark Hickory. Backed by a Limited Lifetime product warranty and 50-year fade and stain warranty.
• Landmark Collection: Crosscut cathedral grain styling that replicates the look of white oak and walnut with a sophisticated matte finish. Available in American Walnut, French White Oak, Boardwalk, and Castle Gate.
• Harvest+ Collection: Subtle highlights, lowlights, and tonal variations create the character of gently worn hardwoods with a beautifully aged patina. Available in Timber Gray and Toasted Wheat.
• Harvest Collection: Clean cathedral grain patterns in versatile solid colors — Kona, Slate Gray, and Brownstone. The most accessible entry point into AZEK PVC performance.

All TimberTech AZEK boards are manufactured from recycled materials in the USA, carry a Limited Lifetime structural warranty, and feature Alloy Armour Technology that resists scratching, staining, and UV fading far beyond what composite materials can achieve.

Wolf Decking — Engineered for Extreme Conditions

Wolf Home Products offers PVC and composite decking lines specifically engineered for harsh climates like Colorado's:

• Wolf Serenity (PVC): High-Density Cellular PVC with COLORWATCH100 technology for industry-leading color retention and a 50-Year Stain & Fade warranty. 12 colors including Ashland, Amberwood, Weathered Ipe, Onyx, Golden Cypress, and Black Walnut.
• Wolf Haven (Composite): Rustic charm with real-wood texture, scalloped profile with grooved edges for hidden fastener installation. Available in Wheatfield, Storm, and Honeywood with a 35-Year Stain & Fade warranty.
• Wolf Perspective (Composite): Made from 94% recycled content with Fiber Sequencing Technology for industry-leading strength. Available in Dune, Potomac Grey, and Acacia with a 25-Year warranty.

Deck Styles and Configurations for Every Foxfield Property

No two Foxfield backyards are identical, and neither should their decks be. Weatherguard designs and builds custom deck configurations tailored to your property's topography, your home's architecture, and the way your family actually uses outdoor space. Here are the most popular deck styles we build across Colorado:

• Platform Decks: Ground-level designs that flow seamlessly from your back door into your yard. Ideal for flat lots and single-story homes, platform decks create an accessible entertaining space without the need for railings or stairs in most cases.
• Raised Decks: Elevated structures that provide panoramic views of your yard while creating valuable covered storage or patio space underneath. Essential for homes with walkout basements or sloped terrain — extremely common in Foxfield neighborhoods.
• Multi-Level Decks: Tiered designs that define distinct activity zones — a cooking and grilling station, a dining area, a lounge space, and a ground-level fire pit pad. Multi-level decks add dramatic architectural interest to your home while maximizing usable square footage.
• Wraparound Decks: Decks that extend along two or more sides of your home, providing multiple access points and diverse sun and shade exposures throughout the day. A wraparound design also maximizes your outdoor living area without expanding your home's footprint.
• Pool Decks: Slip-resistant, moisture-proof surfaces designed specifically to surround in-ground and above-ground pools. Our PVC and composite materials stay cooler underfoot than concrete or stone and will never splinter — critical safety features for barefoot use around water.
• Covered Decks and Porches: Extend your deck season by adding a full or partial roof structure. Covered decks protect your furniture, your grill, and your family from rain and excessive sun while creating a more intimate, room-like outdoor experience.
• Cantilevered Decks: Architecturally striking designs that project outward beyond their support structure, creating a floating visual effect. Popular on modern homes where clean lines and dramatic geometry are part of the design language.
• Screened Deck Enclosures: Full or partial screen systems that keep mosquitoes and insects out while preserving airflow and natural light. A screened deck turns your outdoor space into a comfortable three-season room without the cost of a full enclosure.

Composite vs. PVC Decking: Choosing the Right Material for Your Foxfield Deck

Both composite and PVC deliver far superior performance to wood, but they have distinct characteristics that make each better suited to different situations. Here is an honest comparison to help you decide:

Our recommendation? If your budget allows, PVC decking provides the ultimate in low-maintenance performance and longevity. If you want an exceptional deck at a lower investment, composite delivers outstanding value and will dramatically outperform any wood deck. Either way, you are making a smart upgrade over traditional lumber.

Deck Maintenance in Colorado: What You Actually Need To Do

One of the biggest advantages of composite and PVC decking is the near-total elimination of maintenance headaches. Unlike wood decks that demand annual staining, sealing, sanding, and board replacement, your Weatherguard composite or PVC deck requires only minimal care:

• Periodic Sweeping: Remove leaves, pine needles, and debris to prevent staining from organic material sitting on the surface for extended periods.
• Occasional Washing: A garden hose or pressure washer on a gentle setting is all you need to keep your deck looking fresh. For stubborn spots, a mild soap solution and a soft-bristle brush will handle virtually any stain.
• Snow Removal: Use a plastic shovel or broom to clear heavy snow. Avoid metal shovels that could scratch the surface. Calcium chloride ice melt is safe for composite and PVC — but avoid rock salt, which can leave residue.
• Furniture Pads: Place protective pads under heavy furniture legs to prevent point-load compression marks. This is especially important for metal chairs on hot days when the deck surface is more pliable.

That is it. No sanding. No staining. No sealing. No replacing warped or rotted boards. Just enjoy your deck, season after season, while your neighbors spend their weekends maintaining theirs.

Composite Decking: The Smart Choice for Foxfield Homeowners

Composite decking blends recycled wood fibers with high-density polyethylene plastic, creating a board that mimics the warmth of natural hardwood while resisting the rot, insects, and weather damage that destroy traditional lumber. For Foxfield homes facing sub-zero temperatures, heavy snowfall, and persistent ice accumulation, composite decking delivers decades of reliable performance without the annual chore of sanding, staining, or sealing.

• Fiberon Concordia: Premium multiblend coloring with dramatic grain patterns and a matte finish.

Fiberon boards are manufactured in the USA using up to 94% recycled content and carry a 25-year structural warranty along with comprehensive fade and stain coverage.

Built for Colorado Weather: How Our Decks Handle Colorado's Extreme Climate

With average winter lows dipping below -10°F and summer highs regularly exceeding 90°F, Minnesota decking materials must withstand a temperature range of over 100 degrees annually. Add heavy snow loads, spring ice melt, and summer storm damage to the equation, and it becomes clear why material selection matters more here than almost anywhere else in the country.

Here is how the materials we install are specifically engineered to handle these challenges:

• Freeze-Thaw Resistance: PVC decking absorbs virtually zero moisture, eliminating the primary cause of cracking and warping during Colorado's freeze-thaw cycles. Composite boards use capped polymer shells that prevent moisture penetration into the wood-fiber core.
• UV Stability: Premium composites and PVC boards incorporate UV-stabilizing compounds and multi-layer fade-resistant coatings that maintain color vibrancy despite years of direct sun exposure — critical in Colorado where summer UV can be intense.
• Snow Load Performance: Our structural designs account for Colorado's maximum expected snow loads, using properly sized joists, beams, and footings that prevent sagging or structural fatigue under heavy wet snow accumulation.
• Thermal Expansion Management: All materials expand and contract with temperature changes. Our installation methods incorporate manufacturer-specified gapping and fastening patterns that allow for thermal movement without buckling, cupping, or unsightly gaps.
• Mold and Mildew Prevention: The polymer caps and shells on our decking materials create a non-porous surface that resists mold and mildew growth — a common problem with wood decks in Colorado's humid summer months.

Foxfield’s Wind Reality: Designing Decks for Arapahoe County Gusts

On July 29, 2026, wind speeds reached 66 mph near Foxfield. For an outdoor structure like a deck, that kind of gust exposes weak connections and underbuilt rail posts. Weatherguard plans Foxfield decks with wind in mind—prioritizing smart details that control movement, resist uplift, and keep guards solid under load.

Structural choices that stand up to gusts

• Continuous load paths that tie ledger, joists, beams, and posts together with corrosion‑resistant hardware so forces move safely to ground.
• Through‑bolted guard posts at corners and stair openings, paired with blocking that resists rotation and keeps rails quiet in crosswinds.
• Discreet diagonal bracing under framing to reduce racking when the wind shifts suddenly.
• Stair stringer anchors and landing connections that address uplift and lateral sway where wind commonly concentrates.
• Fastener strategy matched to exposure: manufacturer‑specified hidden clips where appropriate, and face‑screwed boards with plug systems along the most wind‑exposed perimeters and picture‑frame borders.

Material choices for windy sites

• Dimensionally stable deck boards—composite or PVC from the brands discussed on this page—help limit seasonal movement that wind can amplify.
• Low‑profile fascia and vented skirting that finish the perimeter cleanly without creating unnecessary “sail” surfaces.
• Rail infill selected for comfort and airflow: pickets for balanced wind passage, cable for maximum airflow, or glass when shielding is the priority. Weatherguard sizes posts and anchors to match the chosen infill.

Every Foxfield property experiences wind a little differently. During a site visit, Weatherguard notes how gusts move across the yard and around the house, then adjusts post spacing, hardware selection, and railing details to suit the exposure.

After the July 29, 2026 Wind Event: A Practical Deck Check for Foxfield Homes

If your deck rode out the 66 mph gusts near Foxfield, a quick, methodical check is smart—even when everything looks fine at first glance. A few minutes now can prevent a small loosened connection from becoming a larger structural issue later.

• Ledger and house connection: look beneath the deck for any separation, crushed washers, or sheared fasteners along the ledger line.
• Posts and beams: push on guard posts at corners and stair openings; note any movement at the base or where the post meets framing. Sight along beams for new sag or twist.
• Stairs: step carefully while holding the rail; check for bounce, creaks, or gaps opening at the top and bottom landings.
• Railing and infill: confirm caps are tight, infill is seated, and post bases are fully fastened with no elongated holes.
• Deck surface and edges: look for lifted board ends, fastener back‑out at picture frames, or scuffing from wind‑blown objects.
• Accessories: ensure gates latch smoothly and any furniture anchors or planters haven’t strained the railing or surface.

Document anything you find with photos. Weatherguard can evaluate an existing deck, recommend targeted reinforcement, or plan a code‑compliant replacement when a structure has reached the end of its life. Tying observations back to a dated event like July 29, 2026 helps prioritize what to address first.
