Can’t get square edges on 12’boards! ????
Would RecommendMaterial was fine only gave 4 stars because I couldn’t get the square edge in 12’. Caused me to have to redesign the layout to hide the grooves with 8’ square edges. Turned out nice though.

I thought Clam Shell was lighter. This is a dark grey. I am not dissatisfied though. It will look beautiful on replacement of our deck. The price was exceptional. Only Lowes had a gray color. Everywhere else did not, or if they did, it was expensive.
