Many factors can influence the wear of your deck’s wood.  They include:

Type of Deck Wood:

What type of tree the wood came from, the quality of the lumber itself, and the type of treatment (chemical and drying process) the wood received at the factory.   

Cut of Wood:

This refers to what part of the tree was used and how the wood was cut in relationship to the grain (heart, edge or flat grain).

Exposure to the Elements:

Sun and rain, combined with inconsistent moisture exposure will radically effect the lifespan of deck wood.

Installation technique:

Both the orientation and the type (and material) of fasteners used to secure the deck wood can equally affect performance and longevity.

Wear: 

Traffic and load can induce more flexing in certain parts of the deck, accelerating their demise.

Maintenance:

Was the deck kept clean?  Was stain or sealer applied regularly?  Remember, mold literally “eats” wood away, so combined with water exposure, deck boards can fail rapidly.
