When Rick Denniston was designing his ocean-view vacation home in Gualala, Calif., 113 miles north of San Francisco, he knew he wanted to build a deck or two to watch gray whales and their calves migrate along the northern California coast each winter and spring.

For the interior of his two-bedroom Craftsman-style house, he used sustainably harvested Brazilian cherry hardwood floors. But, he said, he felt there was only one way to go for his outdoor space: decks made of composite materials.

He built two decks, including a 400-square-foot space off the master bedroom. Both were made of WeatherBest, a composite-deck material manufactured by Louisiana-Pacific in Nashville. The decks’ planks, a light cedar color, are part wood and part plastic, and require little care.
