Looked nice

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only got a small piece to see if was worth the price. It definitely looked better than wood decking. We are thinking about this. Our only concern is is it really as carefree as they claim. We have decided to trippy it on a small ramp we have before we invest in a wrap around deck.

Sturdy, great color for deck

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have looked at the Trex 1 ft Sample in the color Clam Shell to see if it would make good material to redo my deck. I think it is very sturdy and has a nice grain to the finish. Clam Shell is a medium to dark brown with gray undertone. It will make a very nice deck that is attractive. I am hoping that it will weather better than natural wood and not warp over time like my wood deck has.

This is one of the finalist for us, we will be requesting a quote / more info once we finalize the design. I think if this product fits with ou...

Nice!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Clam Shell Trex 1 foot sample and was very pleased. The sample size is large enough that I can get a good idea and picture of the what the entire product would be like. The quality is very nice and appears to be very sturdy. I also liked that I could compare it to other colors. The coloring of this sample is a dark gray. I would recommend this product!

Excellent

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was lucky enough to receive two samples from This company to be able to compare. I received rocky harbor and clam shell. I’ll be honest it’s very hard to pick one favorite the two were beautiful colors. Rocky harbor being lighter almost taupe and clam shell being a darker grey color. I must also admit they are heavy and super sturdy. Both would look excellent on a home and definitely give it that modern upgraded feel. Not only that you would ...
