Split Decision: The decking market is skewing toward high- and low-end products ProSales Magazine Share ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The product itself may be flat, but the key shape in decking's future is a dumbbell. That's how decking experts predict the sales chart for their market will look in coming years.
