I was looking to have a deck installed in my back yard with hot tub in the

plastic deck....... any opinions or suggestions welcome....

Wood is less expensive, stronger (needs less supports). Higher
maintenance, more splintering.

Plastic is more expensive, needs more support and comes in limited
colors. No maintenance or splinters though.

A wood substitute such as Trex or Certainteed's products might be
another choice. Better woods are also available than conventional PT
decking, like Redwood, Teak, Ipe and so on.
