I've heard cherry is a good alternative to teak and was wondering about
using the plastic deck lumber for things like handholds, toe and rub

Anyone here have experience with plastic lumber for exterior trim?


I used 4/5 x 6 plastic lumber for a base ring for my console. It seems
to be holding up great but it is not particularly pretty.

Trex also has some really nice looking deck boards. More expensive, but look
good. Brasilia or someing liike that.
