Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the composite decking for its stunning, realistic wood-like appearance with rich color options and authentic grain texture. Most highlight the substantial weight, thickness, and durability as indicators of long-term quality, with many noting existing decks over ten years old still look pristine. The low-maintenance appeal resonates strongly—no staining, sealing, or painting required—along with splinter-free surfaces and mildew resistance. A few report warping or scratching issues, and some note the surface can become hot in direct sunlight, though these concerns are outweighed by overall satisfaction. Most customers consider it a worthwhile investment for lasting beauty and practicality.

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ learned more about decking and was really interested in this material sample to build my own deck in the near future. Just by this one sample I received , I can tell it’s of good quality, but I would still have slip concerns with this material rather than traditional wood decking. I would have to see a whole deck built with this material to really put it to the test.

Sturdy and well made
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently replaced our deck and were looking to use Trex for the top rail just to avoid splinters from wood and give us a place to set things that's more smooth and level. The hardest part is finding the right color. This color will not quite work for us but it was so nice to have a sample size to test rather than spending the money on a whole board. Overall very pleased with this.

Beautiful color!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This board has a beautiful color and is a perfect match for my deck, the material seems to be very strong and durable and it does look like wood. It is a great alternative to use instead of wood for a long lasting deck

no more deck maintenance!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Trex is the way to go! After battling my wonderful natural wood decks for the past 10 years, I give up. Trex has so many more color choices now and they look so much richer once installed, I have to say...NO MORE WOOD! And from a distance, they look as natural as the real thing...but it is a man made product, so it's always going to declare itself as such! The trade off is worth it! My decks are beautiful!

1ft. Spiced rum
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the color of this product and the texture we are planning on building a new deck next spring and we were not sure what kind of material to use but after seeing how durable your materials are we have made a decision to use your product.

Very sturdy
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off I was very surprised how sturdy this product was. It was heavier than I expected, but I feel like it will be able to withstand the elements. The color is a nice rich dark brown with no major color gradient changes. I like the texture that makes it more authentic looking. This color and texture is easy to clean, the grooves are too deep and it's dark enough to hide most dirt and mud.

Beautiful
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Trex Transend is a beautiful deck material. I was surprised at the weight and heft of the sample. Our sample of Spiced Rum is a rich brown color with some darker tones and woodgrain that give a very natural look. This stuff is solid! I can see why it won't fade, stain, or scratch. No maintenance, just hose it off. I'm afraid it will outlast my house. Being 95% recycled materials is great for the environment too.

Beautiful wood look
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This would make a gorgeous deck! I really love the fact that it's made out of recycled materials. The wood grain really stands out and looks like natural real wood.

Beautiful Finish
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're going for that "classic" look for your deck or patio this is the finish you're looking for. And not only does it look great for your yard, but it also repels those pesky elements like rain and mud.

More cons than pro.
Would Not RecommendAs beautiful as this product is in the beginning, it's not worth it in the end. If you are worried about scratches and stains, yes, this product will indeed scratch and stain. Yes, there is maintenance required on this product to keep it looking nice but once you scratch it or it gets stained, you are stuck with it unless you replace it. Not a simple case of going back over it with stain or using a wood filler or something of that nature. If you have used the hidden fastener system, be prepared ...

But nobody said.......
Would RecommendProbably the best deck boards available on the market. I refurbished an existing upper deck and built another directly beneath, both about 12'x24'. Both decks have two "double picture frame" layout (didn't want any butt joints). My upper deck has been down for about three years with no fading or failure issues. Overall very pleased with outcome but..... What nobody told me: *12ft boards are 5.5" wide and 12'1.5" long. That length info would have been beneficial had I known in advance. *All...

Great Product
Would RecommendI have a 1200 square foot deck that I am redoing in sections with the Trex Trancend Island Mist. Similar to other composite products I have to work with the temperature and direct sun light have an impact on the length and even the width. Once you know this you work around it and it works. Very happy with final look of this product. Our front porch is the same material and it is holding up perfectly.
