Each of the three styles offers solid decking and hollow decking. “Both types of decking cut, drill and install just like a natural wood,” says Weinstein, “but the hollow planks are somewhat lighter and therefore even easier to work with, especially on remodeling projects. If you happen to be ripping out an old wooden deck — that will most likely be 24 inches on center — you can lay the hollow plank right down on the existing joists without having to add extra structural support.”
