Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the composite decking for its realistic wood-like appearance, exceptional durability, and minimal maintenance requirements. Reviewers consistently highlight the rich, detailed wood grain in colors like Spiced Rum and Island Mist, noting the boards look indistinguishable from natural wood. Many emphasize the heavy, dense construction resists warping and splintering, with some reporting decks remaining vibrant after eight years. The recycled material requires no staining or sealing, and grooved edges work seamlessly with hidden fastener systems. A few customers report occasional warped boards upon arrival or note the surface becomes slippery when wet, though most remain highly satisfied overall.

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.

Very solid and durable!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was considering adding a cedar deck to my house to match my fence. A friend suggested I try a manufactured alternative that would require less maintenance. I checked out a sample of the Transcend Deck Board in the Spiced Rum color. It was surprisingly heavy and solid! It was also thicker than I expected. The color is nice, and the wood grain is deeply etched into the surface. If you scrutinize it, with your face inches from it, you can tell i...

Great flooring for porch in Mulvane, KS
Would RecommendJust had this installed for our porch. This gray/black color goes well with our indoor color scheme of grays and blues. Love the "no nails" look.
