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!

Say what? Don didn't jump in to question "install" and "mans"? I
thought he was here to improve the group. WAFL!

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.

Based on that limited information I would want something with a solid
binder in the material.

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.

You worked for a government owned corporation. Unless you worked for the
Hudson Bay company as a clerk.

Definition: A federal Crown corporation in Canada is a corporation
established by the federal government to deliver public policy when the
government feels that government departments, other levels of government or
the private sector cannot adequately do so. A Crown corporation is wholly
owned either directly or indirectly by the government.
