When you daydream about your dream deck, chances are you haven’t given much thought to what lies beneath it. Even though your deck’s substructure may not make the family photos, it’s actually the most important part of your new outdoor space. Our durable triple-coated steel beams, joists and tracks create the strongest, straightest and, yes, greenest structures down below.

1. When planning a new deck, it’s important to ensure every part is up to code—especially the essential
framework it relies on. Where other steel deck frame systems may appear to be sturdy and supportive,
only Trex Elevations®
is intended for outdoor use.

painted/powder coated over a galvanized coating.
The synergistic effects of triple-layered steel, like Trex Elevations®

expected life of an unprotected system.
