Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the realistic wood-grain texture, consistent color, and durability of this composite decking. Most highlight its maintenance-free performance, noting it requires no painting or staining unlike traditional wood. Many appreciate how sturdy and top-quality the material feels, with the ribbed design reducing weight while maintaining strength. Installation is frequently cited as a major advantage, with customers noting boards are easy to cut and work with, especially using the hidden fastener system for a clean, screw-free surface. A few report warped boards upon arrival or note the material can get hot in direct sunlight, though most consider these minor concerns outweighed by overall performance and long-term value.

Look over product
Like the product, but the product your staff chose was terrible. The trek deck was dirty and some had scratches. Seems like old material you couldn’t sell in the store but give to people who order online. Not very fair to the people who order online.

Warp Easily Do Not Buy
Would Not RecommendIf your deck joists are spaced 24" apart, avoid using Trex Enhance Basics. These boards are too soft for that span — they will flex, warp, and may even crack within a year. Trex’s own installation guidelines specify that 24" spacing is only suitable for 2×6 boards, not the 1×6 Enhance Basics. This product is not designed to handle that load, and Trex will not cover damage under warranty in such cases. Save yourself the frustration and choose a more durable option or reduce your joist spacing.

Composite decking
Would RecommendDelivered timely and job well done by the delivery man. Product however ( composite decking) had 3 boards damaged badly on bottom of skid, impossible to see until I worked my way to the end days later. One was broken completely in half, other 2 had large chunks busted from them. Clearly impossible not to notice when being loaded onto pallet by stock associates. I gave 4 stars for the delivery dude and for Trex making an easy to use product with great looks. I ordered online, should've went in an...

The boards are slightly bowed but I would assume when installed they will fix the bowing.

Does not rot like wood
Would RecommendI like this product because I do not have to repaint it every year. All I have to do is pressure wash it and it looks like brand new.
