With the decking industry continuing to grow, the floor of the 2014 DeckExpo was busy and filled with new products for outdoor living. New brands, as well as new products from well-known brands were easy to spot throughout the show floor.

Below are eight new products our editors found on the show floor. Add those to this list of 10 more new products that debuted at Deck Expo.
