Would RecommendI used the TREX deck to cover a patio cover top since we don't stand on it and I'm tired of painting it every 6 years due to the harsh sunlight. They are easy to work with and look great. Picking up this time was a pain. In store communications poor, had to wait 25 minutes without anyone telling me where they went to find my pick up item.

Anticipate the boards being curled at th end.
Would RecommendThe trex product is heavy and durable. I used almost the entire length of the boards which made it difficult because the ends were curled up for about a foot. The Trex screws strip easily so you need to be careful. It is a good product with a few negatives.

The extra cost for Trex is worth it.
Would RecommendThis material is easy to work with for layout and cutting to size. The clips keep spacing equal and holds the material in place. The drawback to this material is having to flatten the ends of the boards prior to installing. Sitting to long on a rack causes (I believe) the ends to curve up. Apply heat to the ends, add weight until cooled down. Overall, Trex is easy to use and looks great.

Damaged boards.
1 damaged board was noticed upon loading. When I got home, I noticed 2 other boards deeper in the stack were also scratched and gouged. It wasn’t noticeable when the order was loaded, only after the bundle was unstrapped and boards were taken off the top.

Great look
Would RecommendThe boards are exactly as we expected. The color is consistent from board to board even though we purchased the boards from three stores. We haven't installed the boards yet, so I can't comment on their performance in weather.

Some inconsistent grooves
Some of the boards seem to be reject’s or not consistent in terms of the grooves. There supposed to be narrow on one side to hold the clips and wider on the other so the clip slides into the next board. Well some of these boards have wide grooves on both sides which makes installation a little more challenging.
