What Customers Are Saying

The Trex Composite Decking Kit offers features like color-matched plugs and an installation jig that many customers found helpful. However, a significant number reported major issues with the screws, such as them not sinking deep enough, stripping out, or shearing off, even when pre-drilling as instructed. This resulted in damaged boards and supports, making repairs and adjustments extremely difficult. Some customers also noted missing plugs in their kits. The product seems to work well for some, but many experienced serious problems.
