Big snag is actually knowing how long these 'new' methods do last.
Plenty claims, though. The decking is marine ply, so hoping it will

Marine ply won't disintegrate if it gets wet - it'll just dry again.

Unless it keeps getting wet, when it will rot just like any other wood.

Marine ply is one of those things much talked about but never seen in
diy or pro house maintenance. If someone says marine ply, it's something
else.



Most timber yards round here sell it. Or rather what they call marine ply.
At about 5 times the price of general purpose stuff.
