THE WORLD NEEDS REBELSTo change the world, first you have to conquer it. Fortress® decking exists because no other products could perform in the harsh climate of South Africa, where it all began. After defending against dramatic temperature swings and enduring some of the world’s toughest ultraviolet conditions, our decking grew to become the leading product in Europe, and the fastest growing deck brand globally. Our capped decking materials have gone toe-to-toe with every climate imaginable and never been defeated.
Now advancing throughout North America, Fortress decking is already proven to help your deck look and perform out of this world.

Fortress® decking imagined a radical idea. Could we build a PVC decking series that defies expectations? As a result, our ApexTM PVC decking reaches new heights in value, quality and aesthetics. Fortress Apex PVC decking uses a proprietary tri-extrusion process that delivers the beautiful look of tropical hardwoods. In fact, it’s been called, “the best board I’ve ever seen” by numerous customers.
The foam core reinforced with bamboo is 45% lighter than composite decking making it easy to work with. It expands and contracts about 25% less than other PVC deck boards providing more consistent install, gaps and looks. Each board is encapsulated in an acrylic polymer that delivers outstanding UV performance, so your deck won’t fade like other PVC products; and it provides the highest non-slip rating. So rise up, and reach the apex of decking.

FREEDOM IS WORRY-FREENo sanding. No staining. No painting. No problem. Fortress decking requires a heck of a lot less maintenance compared to wood. To keep your deck looking great for many backyard barbecues to come, simply give it an occasional sweep and hose down with soapy water from time to time. Feel free to spend your time enjoying your deck, not maintaining it.
UNMATCHED YET UNNECESSARY25-YEAR LIMITED MANUFACTURER WARRANTYWhen you choose decking products that are this tough, you can expect them to last a long, long time. But just in case, Fortress® offers a twenty-five year limited manufacturer warranty that protects our products and the people who buy them. We don’t just stand behind our work – we also stand by your side.
