What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the composite decking for its stunning natural appearance, consistent coloration, and exceptional durability compared to traditional wood. Most highlight how easy the material is to cut and install, especially with hidden fastener systems, making projects straightforward even for DIYers. Reviewers consistently note the maintenance-free nature and long-term value, with many citing friends' decks that still look new after years. A few report warped boards upon arrival or note the material becomes very hot in direct sunlight, though these remain isolated concerns. Overall, customers consider the investment worthwhile for lasting beauty and reliability.

Would Not RecommendThe ends are pretty bowed making a good 10-15 percent of the board unusable. Or if you don’t catch them your deck will look wonky.

This stuff is garbage
Would Not RecommendWe bought enough to do a freestanding 400 sq ft deck. We installed sub frame every 12 inches as required. It looked good on day one - by day 30 it started bowing. By year one it was worse. Two years later it is horrible and we are having to replace it. Wish we would have just used pressure treated in the beginning. It would have saved us a ton of time and money.

Bowing on the ends is a problem !
Would RecommendI really like this product , but the first 6 to 8 inches of these boards are bowed and have to be trimmed off to fit correctly . I had to buy 12’ pieces for a 10’ deck so l had to cut each end anyway . If I would have needed the full length it would have been a problem .
