What Customers Are Saying
The Deckorators Tropics composite deck boards are generally well-received by customers. Many find the product attractive, easy to install, and durable, with the material holding up well even in harsh outdoor conditions. Some users noted the boards were easy to work with and cut. However, a few customers reported issues with warping or difficulty drilling the screws, and the 8-foot boards lacking grooves required extra effort during installation. Overall, the majority of customers appear satisfied with the quality and performance of these composite deck boards.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.I love the way the composite Deck looks and that it is no maintenance once it is done and it last forever. It was harder to drill the screws into this composite deck then it was the Choice deck which is the reason I rated it a 4 instead of 5.

Look nice, easy to clean
Would RecommendThey look great and hold down nice with composite deck screws with no splitting. There are a few cons though. There is writing on the edge of the boards so you see the writing when you use these boards for stairs and at the edge of the deck. I used 80+ boards and many of the boards were warped more than anticipated for a shorter board. The ends aren't square so had to make sure to trim the uncut ends when butting up against another board or they wouldn't sit flush.

Easy to install
Would RecommendThese planks are very easy to lay down and keep straight. Especially when I used the hidden fasteners. I’ve been told they will fade some as with all plastic planks. We’ll see how it holds up. Installed July 2018
