What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this composite decking for its natural wood-like appearance, exceptional durability, and minimal upkeep. Most highlight that no staining, sanding, or painting is required, with many confident it will last a lifetime. Reviewers consistently note resistance to warping, rotting, and slipping when wet. Installation is frequently described as straightforward, with boards easy to cut and handle without special tools. Hidden fasteners create a seamless look. A few customers report occasional color inconsistencies or note the material becomes very hot in direct sunlight, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by satisfaction with core performance and aesthetics.

Trex Decking...Easy Installation & Low Maintenance

Would Recommend

It is my first time using TREX decking. The Lowe's personnel were very knowledgeable on cutting and installation. Also the needed hardware for Installation. I will be doing my other decks with Trex.

Gorgeous!

Used these to built a patio. Super easy, easy to clean with the water hose, and gorgeous! I originally went for wood and was going to stain. But I decided to spend the money and get these. 1000% worth is.

These planks are a great new product. Easy to use and durable, just wish they came in 16ft lengths. I used them to top my existing deck railings

Best gel stain I’ve ever used.

Would Recommend

Best gel stain on the market! Goes on easy dries quickly and a little goes a long way. It’s a thick gel and the colors in this brand are great. I’ve used other brands with little color options but this brand has several options to choose from

Great replacement for old wooden deck boards

Would Recommend

The product is a great replacement for my old wooden deck boards. I have not worked with the "Enhanced Basic s" Trex board with the grooved edges before, and having to order special boards for the outside edges makes computing board quantities and specifying the proper part # quite difficult.

It always looks new and fresh, requires no upkeep.

Would Recommend

My local store was sold out because the product is a smart choice in Texas. So I called around and couldn't locate the product anywhere. The last store I called was in Prosper, TX and asked for the help desk. The rep said his store was also out of the product, but he told me he'd call me back after he checked around. An hour later, he called and had located the product in the new store in Celina, TX. I thanked him and drove immediately to Lowe's Celina, bought the product, and installed it the ...
