    Replacing the back deck

    Looking at the treated lumber. I'm seeing standard and premium. Is there a big difference?

    Usually has to do with the number and severity of knots. Yes, there's usually a pretty big difference. Why not composite? You will thank yourself later.

    I would at least price out composite you might be surprised when you compare the total price. Trex has 3 levels of decking.

    Penski Board is a great composite. Very light weight and strong. Cuts like wood and holds screws like wood. Several builders have used it. Check with UScomposite.com or they might have a sister company closer to you.
