Ratings & Reviews for Trex Transcend 2-in x 6-in x 20-ft Spiced Rum Square/Solid Composite Deck Board

Color Problems Ruining Deck Look

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?

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

[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

[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

[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

[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!

[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...

Thick

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This deck board was very thick and strong. I like that fact that it will most likley last for years and years.

Durability made beautiful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The transcend deck board sample definitely exceeded my expectations. It's not only durable, it's also very attractive. l also loved the color and the option to pick out a design I liked.

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

[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.

Deck Board

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Trex - Transcend Spiced Rum Deck Board is a beautiful color and very sturdy! Does NOT get slippery when it gets wet which is very important to our family! Does NOT scratch easily - we have big dogs and they have never left a scratch on it!!

Very solid and durable!

[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...
