Quality at a discount

Excellent Quality Materials at a great price. Love the color and the texture. Texture has a real wood effect.

Quality at a discount

Color is Amazing Quality is Excellent. i also like the grooves creating a real wood effect.

Poorly engineered and terrible quality

DO NOT BUY! Just after one month the top skin of these boards is gouging off from light use of chairs on the deck. It is a poorly engineered composite decking material - the top layer is a veneer that is not part of the board. It will rip off VERY easily with regular use.

too hot

Do not purchase if you have any intent to walk on in bare feet. Most any sun will heat this up to a point it is unbearable without shoes.

Exposed deck = Extreme color variations

Purchased this decking in bulk, had to go to two stores to get enough. 48 of them were still wrapped in the pallet but the Lowes numbers matched and I did not think much of it. Fast forward two months to the install time and find that they are not consistent coloring on the bottom which leaves a lot to be desired for the exposed portion of the deck. The main color "Tidal Gray" is a match but I now have multiple colors on the underside of the exposed deck. In the picture you can see the color...

Looks great

Product is pretty much like any other composite decking, I would recommend not to drill to close to the edge of the board because it splits really easy. Try pre drilling first!

I like this decking except the color of the boards vary. Some boards are grayish and some have a bluish gray tint. If I were rich I would not finish putting it down and go try a different brand.

Composite Decking , Roberts Rentals

The only complaint I have is the faster system. It is made with plastic to fit between the deck boards. Did not like the way it looked, so I removed the fasters and used composite screws through the top. Much better look and will last a lot longer than the plastic fasters.

Poly board

Material cracks easily if holes are not pre drilled and material needs lots of structural support or it sags.

Perfect for pool deck

Easy to work with. Does the job

Summer Project

The quality of this decking is excellent. Easy to install we are installing ourselves. The only thing about composite decking it does get very hot.

Good product but Inconsistent

I purchased this decking for my new deck after comparing many products at various price points. Product is nice, but had some issues with it. When ordering large quantities it comes in packages of 48 boards a package. I received 2 packages and a few loose boards all delivered on the same date from Lowe's. Upon installing all of the boards I noted a rather significant color difference between the 2 different packages. I contacted the company and sent them pictures and serial numbers, but the...

Great quality for the ramp to my shed. Will never have to replace.

Unsure how I feel about this decking. Had one piece leaning against the wall in my house, it fell and cracked in half on the tile floor. Installing the rest in a few weeks...here's to hoping it holds up. Looks nice though, great color.
