For my next construction project...
I'm thinking of building a new deck, approximately 15' x 25',
approximately 9' above grade. I have no concerns about structure; I know what to do about that. I'm considering using the newer "composite lumber" (Trex is one brand name) for decking, rails, balusters, stairs, et cetera...you know, the stuff that shows. I'm wondering how well it resists weathering, rot, checking, splitting, whether it needs any maintenance aside from a good washing, et cetera. The last time I built a deck, I used cedar over pressure treated supports. The cedar was fine, but it did require a coat of transparent stain every season. Experiences with "trex" or other similar products? Thanks. -- Republicans are the Party of No: No Leaders / No Ideas / No Morals |
