Local conditions
Hot summers, wet winters
Chilliwack summers are hotter than the coast, so covers and pergolas get used for shade as much as rain, and light-coloured boards stay cooler underfoot. Winters are still long and wet.
On Promontory and the eastern hillsides, walk-out lots put decks well above the yard and rock can sit close to the surface. On Fairfield Island and in Greendale, low ground and a high water table make frame protection the priority.
