Great replacement for old wooden deck boards
Would RecommendThe product is a great replacement for my old wooden deck boards. I have not worked with the "Enhanced Basic s" Trex board with the grooved edges before, and having to order special boards for the outside edges makes computing board quantities and specifying the proper part # quite difficult.

Floor boards warped
Would RecommendThe boards were warped from the shelf braces not being level. Caused the boards to curl up on the ends that made installation difficult. Talked to associate on next trip and they were going to fix shelving.
