Love the lighter color Trex- Deck Board !

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this recently, and of all the Trex products I’ve seen so far, this one is by far my favorite color. The lighter color really looks more like natural wood. It’s sturdy and I don’t think it will scratch when you pull porch furniture across it . I’m thinking with the lighter color it may not get too hot after it’s in full sun for a long period of time. This is a color that will match any color home you own. It’s great!

Beautiful!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this sample to test. This product is awesome. I can only imagine how beautiful it would look on an entire deck. The product is very sturdy and would probably last for years. It is looks just like wood grain. It is heavyweight. The tongue and groove assembly will make it very easy to install. The spiced rum color is a realistic dark wood stain color. Definitely a great option for a maintenance-free deck!!

Fantastic Durable Board!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I received the sample board of Transcend Spiced Rum Deck Board I was immediately struck with the solid and heavy feel of it. This is no ordinary board! A medium shade of brown, it's finished with realistic wood grain all along the course. The grooves along the side of the board suggest a tightly locked way of creating a very solid and beautiful deck. This is an exciting option for a well-constructed deck!

Beautiful Quality Decking

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a nice sized sample of Spiced Rum by Trex deck board. I love the color and most importantly the quality of the decking board. It is comfortable to walk on and is a rich color that looks like it will hold up very well on our outdoor deck. We currently have a good deck of a good size and I am definitely considering replacing our wood boards with this deck board. The boards have grooves and look as if they will slide together quite eas...

Nice option for long term

Would Recommend

[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

Would Recommend

[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

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...
