What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this composite decking for its exceptional durability, realistic wood-like appearance, and maintenance-free nature. The material is consistently described as thick, heavy, and built to last, with strong resistance to weather, splinters, warping, and fading. Many appreciate the natural wood texture and grain pattern that closely mimics real timber, plus the elimination of staining, painting, or sealing. The recycled material composition and splinter-free surface are valued benefits. A few report minor color inconsistencies between boards or find the weight challenging during installation, but most consider this decking a worthwhile, long-lasting investment.

Fantastic Durable Board!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I received the sample board of Transcend Spiced Rum Deck Board I was immediately struck with the solid and heavy feel of it. This is no ordinary board! A medium shade of brown, it's finished with realistic wood grain all along the course. The grooves along the side of the board suggest a tightly locked way of creating a very solid and beautiful deck. This is an exciting option for a well-constructed deck!

Beautiful Quality Decking

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a nice sized sample of Spiced Rum by Trex deck board. I love the color and most importantly the quality of the decking board. It is comfortable to walk on and is a rich color that looks like it will hold up very well on our outdoor deck. We currently have a good deck of a good size and I am definitely considering replacing our wood boards with this deck board. The boards have grooves and look as if they will slide together quite eas...

Trex Transend Island Mist Decking

Would Recommend

Liked it so much on our new deck that I have decided to replace all of the railing on my other deck with the same. The old wood took a beating in the sun, but the Trex holds up and keeps its color.

Color Problems Ruining Deck Look

Would Not Recommend

I am using Trex in a 1000 ft sq deck job. I decided on Trex Transcend Island Mist. A third of the way through I started running into boards that have serious coloration discrepancies with the rest of my deck. My vendor contacted the Trex rep to address the issue and two days later, nothing. I am stuck waiting. The product might be good, but color quality control is very poor. See attached photo. What would you do in the middle of this big of a project? Take a look at the photo, the boards on t...

Great product but $96 for a 16 foot board?

Would Not Recommend

Trex is a great product but what is Lowe's thinking selling this color at $6 per linear foot? That's outrageous, hence the low rating.

Nice option for long term

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This board seems to be very sturdy and weather resistant. I left the sample outside during a few crazy rainstorms to see if it would hold up or weather. I even had my dog chew on it for a bit to see how strong it was. It seems to hold up amazing. The one issue i do have is that the wood looks extremely fake. It doesn't have any authentic look to it. The dark coloring is nice and could pass off as a dark painted real wood if you did not look clo...

Heavy duty with great color

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This deck board is heavier than I expected, which reassured me that it was a solid product. I loved the rich color of the Spiced Rum. The color was true to the picture. It did feel a little slippery under the foot of a sock... but I don't imagine walking too often in socks on the deck. Another thing that made me nervous was the deep wood grain grooves. While it makes the decking look rich, it proved to be hard to clean. I did a mustard test, by...

Trex Rum Deck Board Sample

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Deciding on the wood for a new deck can be time-consuming. I was initially attracted to this deck board due to its darker tone to match my home. I found it to match the outside of my front yard and the quality seems to be good so far. It'd be good to see how it performs.

Great looking trex

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a sample if the trex-transcend in the spiced rum... all i can say i wow. There is so much texture (looks like real wood thats just been stained). The color is beautiful , i love that its got parts that are darker. Definitely would be the envy of our neighborhood if we had a whole deck of this.

Worth it’s weight!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Boy was I impressed when I first hefted up the first plank of this decking. It’s heavy, solid, and dense. Needless to say probably, but it is tough. I’m not sure how long it’s rated to last, but I’ve no doubt I won’t have to replace it for as long as I’m alive to enjoy it. It’s really beautiful, and everyone that’s seen it has complimented it heartily. The weather hasn’t touched its color, it’s still as rich and bright as it was when I l...

Built tuff - Quality stuff!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Impressed by the way this is put together. holding a blank in your hand would give you confidence that this isn't some cheap material that will deteriorate over time. You do give up a little bit in the way it looks, but from 3-4 feet away its indistinguishable from real wood. Not to mention the advantages it has against real wood (no need to seal or take care of it - e.g. spills etc.).

Beautiful Decking Option

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an impressive alternative to wood decking material. The color is rich and goes all the way through, and the material itself is very strong which indicates it would not warp readily. It is very pricey but, frankly, worth it considering how often I have had to replace my wood decking which takes a beating due to a full southern exposure. I would definitely opt for this next time I am ready to redo my deck.
