Exterior flooring.
Have a concreted-over side return at ground level, then it goes up a steep set of concrete steps to an upper level covered by rotting wooden decking. The concrete is often chipped and crumbly.
Want to replace the decking at the top but with what? Ideally I'd like that same material to cover the stairs and the side return. Want something that isn't going to warp/fall apart so thinking of composite decking and incorporating planters.
I know some brands still get slippy AF when it rains and some are still prone to mould (but won't decompose at least).
Is it a done thing to cover a concrete staircase (vertically and horizontally) with decking, hiding the concrete completely?
Ideally I'd gut the current staircase and build a new one but that's a few more zeros on the budget than I'd like.
