Deck tiles, which we’ve talked about before , are catching on in popularity. The snap-together square boards are easier to install than traditional decks that must be built by hand, and their modular nature makes it easy to create patterns, add on later, or change out damaged pieces without having to replace huge chunks of the deck itself. Of interest for the green folks out there, many of the deck tile options are made from eco-friendly woods harvested from sustainably managed forests. The wood for the decking tiles from Hardwood
