Replacement deck options
Replacement deck options
So we have to replace our redwood deck - weep - as the under structure has rotted. Looking at the new Trex Transcend product which is 2x$ of pressure treated w/install. Weep..
Anyone have any feedback? I know Trex had issues a few years back, but the new product seems to have taken care of those issues. We have to do something quick to get the pool open...and I'm sick how this will derail St. John trips in the near future...oh well....
Thanks for you input!

After all of my research we will be using AZEK - found out a lot of fantastic info on the forum at www.gardenweb.com just go to their deck section.

We have the early version of Trex (ouor deck was built 9 years ago) and we still love it.
Nowadays there are lots more options that look even better.
Bottom line is -- go with synthetic over wood. Biggest plus is NO MORE SPLINTERS when you walk on it with your bare feet! It does get hot though.
All you have to do is powerwash it and it looks like new year after year. We will NEVER have a real wood deck again, ever!
Good luck!
