Deck builder Decksforlife Introduces Lifetime Decks Built on Fortress Evolution Steel Framing
“A deck is only as good as the frame nobody sees. Steel lets us hand our clients a deck that stays flat, stays solid, and outlives the wood frames everyone is used to replacing.” — Iaroslav Streapan, Founder, Decksforlife
Decksforlife offers the lifetime deck‚ which uses the Fortress Evolution steel framing system․ Instead of building wood framing‚ decksforlife uses galvanized powder-coated steel for all their deck frames․ The result is a level deck base that is rot and fire resistant and carries its own 25-year warranty․ Combined with high quality composite or PVC decking‚ the resulting deck will last generations․

Deck builder Decksforlife builds decks for backyards to last generations‚ with the Fortress Evolution steel framing system standard structural framing for every deck they construct․ Unlike wood framing which will rot‚ warp‚ and sag under most decks‚ Decksforlife’s galvanized steel framing which is black powder coated will not lose its shape or strength over the course of decades․

This is where rot usually starts․ Not on the surface‚ but where you can’t see it in the joists or beams underneath․ The joists can twist and swell‚ the beams can twist‚ separate and rot long before any of those surface boards begin to fail․ This means you’re stuck with a beautiful deck on a rotten frame․ This was the problem that Decksforlife’s lifetime deck offering was built to solve․

A frame that doesn’t rot‚ and remains level

Fortress Evolution framing is galvanized steel powder coated black․ It is rust-resistant‚ corrosion-resistant‚ more durable than wood‚ and impervious to the elements that destroy wood․ The steel framing is resistant to rotting; it will not warp‚ split‚ or splinter‚ nor will it be damaged by insects․ It also maintains its shape and consistency over the deck’s full life․ No crowning․ No cracking․ No knots to work around․

Because all of the components are machine cut to one specific shape‚ the frame builds flat and remains flat throughout its entire life․ This leaves homeowners with a dead level deck surface that remains level under heavy loads and seasonal changes․ The black powder coat protects from corrosion and matches the deck above and structure below‚ so the structure looks finished from every angle․

The system is rated Class A‚ the highest rating for fire resistance in building materials‚ making it a good choice for areas where fire may be a concern․ The steel has the additional benefit of being noncombustible compared to wood․

It carries a 25-year warranty․

Also‚ confidence is improved by the 25 year limited warranty on Fortress Evolution steel framing against fabrication defects․ This warranty includes the structural integrity of the frame‚ and for homeowners looking to build a deck viewed as a long term investment‚ this warranty puts a potentially hidden risk on the table․

The deck becomes effectively infinite with premium surface boards

A lifetime frame needs a lifetime deck․ Decksforlife uses the Fortress Evolution steel frame with composite or PVC decking․ The composite and PVC decking outlasts wood because it outperforms wood against fading‚ staining‚ moisture absorption and surface wear․ When a frame that will not rot meets boards that will not break down‚ you have a deck with no built-in expiration date․ The weak link is gone from top to bottom․

It will work with any brand or type of decking‚ and permitted custom colors‚ textures‚ and styles without disrupting its supportive system below․ From foundation to finish surface‚ this build outlasts the typical replacement cycle that wood decks force on owners every decade or two․
