A wood patio, there are several types of wood to consider. The preferred wood is one that is specially designed for outdoor use. Most commonly used, cedar is a type of wood that is durable and resists fading and chipping. Although this wood is resistant to the elements, a wood patio made from cedar is typically treated with a stain or sealer to help preserve its longevity. Redwood is another choice material for building a patio or outdoor deck.
