Hollow boards - pros
As the name suggests, these boards are hollow and have channels or honeycomb spaces inside. This makes them significantly lighter than solid boards which will make transportation and installation a lot easier - especially if you are going to be working alone for the most part. 2.Hollow boards are a lot cheaper than solid boards. 3.They can be less damaged by the elements. As composite boards consist of wood they can expand and contract from heat and moisture. However, as hollow boards have more internal space to expand into, you are a lot less likely to have any warping issues.
Hollow boards - cons
Hollow boards are louder to walk on and much easier to damage. This isn't necessarily a problem if you plan on using your deck to simply sit outside for eating or relaxing. However, if you plan on having something heavy placed on top such as a hot tub, you may find boards breaking fairly regularly. This will be costly in the long run.
Solid boards - pros
.Solid boards are a lot stronger than hollow boards. This is because there is no space for them to bend and flex making them ideal for if your deck requires more strength i.e if you are planning on putting a hot tub on it, an office space, e.t.c 2.They resemble natural timber a lot more. So, if you are wanting your deck to have the aesthetic of real wood, this may be a better option for you. There are usually a variety of grain variations as well as more color choices available as well. 3.As the boards are stronger you will find maintenance a lot easier. So although you will likely pay more in upfront costs when compared to hollow boards, the maintenance costs will be very limited and therefore saving you money in the long run.
Solid boards - cons
Solid boards are significantly heavier than hollow boards. This could potentially be a problem if you are planning on transporting and installing the deck on your own. 2.They are usually more expensive than hollow boards. 3.Due to the fact that solid boards contain more wood in them than hollow ones and that there is less room to expand with heat and weather, there is a higher risk of boards warping if proper maintenance is not carried out.
