My deck is roughly 20-years old and has started to see the railings and a few top boards decay so it is time for some repair work. The joists look fine but realistically, how long do they last? I would hate to resurface and rail the deck just to have joists failing in 5-years...but if they have another 10+ I wouldn't feel too bad.
any idea what is a typical life for deck joists?
