Yes, wooden deck tiles will hold up over time, if properly maintained. At least once to twice a year, you should power wash your deck. You can rent a power washer at your neighborhood home improvement store. Best of luck!

Laying Deck Tiles?

Easy to install and simple to care for, these tiles will give your deck a luxurious, sophisticated look you are sure to appreciate. If you will be putting tiles over a wood deck, be sure that you check the structure strength. If necessary, add some joists for strength.

Grind high spots flat and use concrete filler to raise low spots.

Can you install tile over wood?
Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. You will regret it later. Tile needs a cement base to adhere to. A wooden base is not good for ceramic tiles. I have seen tile floors where people have tiled over the wood. The tiles are loose, cracked and unlevel. The grout is coming out and water seeps through the floor.

Can you lay ceramic tiles over wooden floor?
Most ceramic tiles are laid over a wooden subfloor, except for those on the ground floor of a house with a slab foundation. I will add to the answer above by saying that you will need to use a polymer-modified thinset morter when installing ceramic tiles over wood. Most tile-setting morters available today are "modified", but check to be sure, because regular morters are designed to be used over concrete and will not adhere properly to wood. Also, if the floor area is large and there is more than a tiny bit of flex in the floor, you might end up with cracked tiles, especially if you or your family or guests are heavy. To avoid this, it might be necessary to build up the thickness of the floor by adding another layer of 3/4" plywood, or by using the older method of wire mesh and concrete over the existing wood (in which case you would not need a modified morter).
