A quandary:

I have been planning to use TREX composite lumber for the
decking,
railing, trim, stairs, on the deck I'll be building soon.

TREX is a composite wood and plastic material and in certain
colors
looks pretty much like wood as opposed to looking like plastic.

Another material I'm told I should consider is Fiberon PVC
decking
which, in certain colors, also looks like wood, though a bit less
so
than the TREX. The Fiberon PVC has a composite core similar to
that
of
the TREX, but it is wrapped in PVC, sort of like milk chocolate
covers
the nougat of a MARS bar. :)

The appearance of either is acceptable. I'm wondering about
actual
durability, wear, resistance to fading, chalking, stains, et
cetera.I
have a feeling the PVC coated material looks the same longer, but
I
wonder how durable the PVC is to abrasion.

Comments? Suggestions?

Here are some relatively recent pics of Trex being install.
Apparently,
it does "rot" whatever that mans. My dad had to replace most of
the
back
deck, which he got from the company for free, apparently... Not
sure
who
took the pictures.

Thanks!

The plastic wood product they are pitching us for our docks is a
1.5"
x 5.5" thick trex like product except it doesn't have a wood filler.
The color goes all the way through.

The Trex did not rot. I have a claim in on my deck. They had a
couple
years of bad plasticizer which causes the Trex to break down.

Are you sure the problem wasn't caused by all the liquor you slosh on
the
deck?

As I said asshole, do not judge the rest of us by you and your son.

No, I judge you by a lower standard Swill........ as evidenced by your
posts in this newsgroup.

Little buddy, that made no sense at all. Did you and your son get drunk
again last night? I'll bet your wife is getting tired of *cleaning puck*
and **** from you two.

"cleaning puck"???
If required I clean my own pucks.
I don't even know where my last one is...haven't played hockey since I ran
an inter-company team years ago.
What needs cleaning is my old gear... got moldy up in the attic.
