Warranty

It is important to understand and take into consideration the warranty offered by the manufacturers of the building materials and products used to create your outdoor living space, and also any warranties or workmanship offered by the installers of the products. This is due to the fact that the products will be subjected to the harsh conditions of the outdoors, including rain, sun, snow, dirt, pollution, and temperature variations that cause shrinkage and expansion, so it makes sense that your investment be protected as much as possible.

Perhaps the most important warranties are those available on wood alternative products. Typically they are for at least 20 years, with some products offering lifetime guarantees. An important consideration is the size and financial capability of the company that back the warranty, and whether or not the waranty is transferable.
