What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this composite decking for its attractive appearance, durability, and low-maintenance design. Most highlight the beautiful dark grey finish that complements home exteriors and resists staining or painting. Reviewers consistently note the material cuts like wood, installs quickly without special tools, and eliminates splinters. Many appreciate the hidden fastener system and long-term cost savings despite higher upfront investment. Some report the decking gets very hot in direct sunlight and shows dirt on lighter tones, while a few experienced warped boards or fastener issues. Overall, customers consider it a worthwhile, durable upgrade over traditional wood decking.

Would Not RecommendShame on your Lowes. You deliver a damaged board and won't give a refund on it without the customer jumping through hoops.

Look over product
Like the product, but the product your staff chose was terrible. The trek deck was dirty and some had scratches. Seems like old material you couldn’t sell in the store but give to people who order online. Not very fair to the people who order online.

The boards are slightly bowed but I would assume when installed they will fix the bowing.

Great Product.Eliminates a lot of maintenance.
Would RecommendI liked it because I found it on the 50 percent off stack, and all the pieces were useable. I placed the composite on my back porch steps, which will eliminate having to stain them every year.

Does not rot like wood
Would RecommendI like this product because I do not have to repaint it every year. All I have to do is pressure wash it and it looks like brand new.

Hello! Thank you for your review! -Trex Customer Care


I knew I should have picked my own.
Would RecommendWhen I ordered the number of boards for delivery I told them to make sure none of the edges were chipped. I was assured the "pick team" looked out for those things when full filling an order. The exact boards I had told them about and mentioned being in their stock were part of the order. The specialist that I spoke to was very nice and it is not her fault but she needs to talk to her "pick team". Luckily I over estimated and will not need the damaged ones in their full 16" length.
