YMMV.

Well, it's done, so enjoy it.
But, for the benefit of others, I *wouldn't rely simply on Consumer Reports.
Here's a few comments about the stuff made by professional contractors:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Simply put, Eon SUCKS! Don't waste your money on this poorly engineered and
unbelievably misrepresented (Consumer Reports 04 endorsement) product."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Eon decking is the worse decking material I ever used. My client picked it
out. Trying to use the installation instructions, we spent two days trying
to install the decking. It was impossible to install the decking per
instructions and we did the best we could with it. The expansion and
contraction of the decking material is so great that it is dangerous to walk
on.
After three years, my client (whose husband has died) called me in tears
wanting to know what could be done with the decking. She had written to Eon
and they wrote back and said the decking was installed improperly. After we
had installed it, we found they had just changed the installation
instructions!
Stay away from Eon, it is the worse of the worse decking made."

" .... I won't offer any warranty on Eon decking anymore.

I thought you promised to ignore me.......
Regardless...........I did not rely only on CS. I relied on several
contractors and their opinion of various decking materials.
For every negative comment you find on the internet about
Eon..........I can find 5 positive ones. I think the quality of the
contractors installation has a lot do do with the complaints.
We found a good one.
I do not know why you (and others here) decided to make this a ****ing
contest Dick but that is what some folks want this place to be
about.
Have a good evening.
PS: Tom: I will give you an update on the deck material over the
remaining season if you want me to.
