What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this composite decking for its natural-looking grain, durability, and exceptional ease of installation. Reviewers consistently highlight the realistic wood texture, clean color consistency, and seamless compatibility with hidden fasteners and no-show clips for professional finishes. The boards cut easily, square cleanly, and feel sturdy underfoot while remaining lightweight. Many customers appreciate replacing rotting wood with this low-maintenance, rot-resistant option that resists warping and weathering. Most find it offers outstanding value compared to premium alternatives. A few note long boards can be unwieldy during installation and mention slight slipperiness when wet, but these minor concerns rarely diminish overall satisfaction.

Would RecommendNice planks. Good solid build and strength the end should be covered to hide them.

Color not matching
Would Not RecommendI ordered this decking under the assumption it would be brown or similar to brown. It’s gray, very gray with slight tones of brown.

Dear Zerek, we are sorry to hear this product did not meet your expectations and would like the chance to discuss the issue with you further. Please ...

My order was supposed to be at the store by 5/21/24. Said in transit online but I called the store everyday for 3 days and was told it's in transit and someone would call back. I never received a call back. I finally went into the store & spoke with Kenny @ the pro desk. He did some research and found it was in the back of the store and had never been checked in through receiving. I finally was able to pick up my order on 5/30/24.

Be aware there is printing along one edge
Would RecommendOne 16' board was enough to cut six 32" steps for a three step stringer. We used the colored screw/plug system to install and the fasteners are nearly invisible.

Great value
Would RecommendLightweight yet feels solid under foot. I ordered several samples before settling on Deckorators, even tested how hot they got on my existing deck. This composite wasn't the coolest, but is wasn't the hottest either. Solid PVC was the coolest, but also the most expensive and also had the most unrealistic look to it. Deckorators came in with the same temperature as other brands that claimed to have better heat dissipation. It was easy to install with their fastener system and the colored screw/pl...
