Why this exists

Most “cedar vs composite” advice ignores where you live. A deck in Phoenix and a deck in Miami fail for opposite reasons — one bakes and splits, the other stays damp and rots. We wanted to show that, not just say it.

howitweathers turns 30 years of local climate data into a picture of what your deck or fence will look like in 1, 5, 10 and 20 years. It is a model, so treat it as a planning aid, not an inspection.

We are starting with decks and fences in 25 cities and adding more materials and places. Questions or corrections: [email protected].
