What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this composite decking for its realistic natural appearance, exceptional durability, and minimal maintenance requirements. Most highlight the beautiful, fade-resistant finish and attractive color options that add lasting curb appeal. Many appreciate the straightforward installation using standard tools and hidden fastener systems for a seamless look. Reviewers consistently emphasize resistance to rot, splinters, and insects, noting the long-term value justifies the upfront cost. A few report warped boards upon arrival or surface scratching, and some mention heat retention in direct sunlight, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by overall satisfaction and strong endorsement of performance.

Would Not RecommendWavy, warped, cupped boards. Makes butt joints awful. Tripping hazard. I understand that this is the cheap intro line, but it has the Trex name on them. I hate this product and hate my deck because of it. Installs and looks terrible. Wish I would have had a cement patio installed instead.

good color match to existing deck
Would Recommendgood color match to the existing deck that is a few years old I wish the first and last foot of each board was not curled so bad from the factory - the curl never goes away and has to cut off before installation

Hello, thank you for sharing your experience. Boards do have a tolerance, which is a factor into why we require a clean cut on the ends of each board...
Actual length incorrect.
Actual length is 1 3/4" longer than stated in specs. Would have been nice to know that when planning so as to not have to cut every board!!!!
Hello, we understand the confusion around that. As seen on page 19 of the Decking Installation Guide, it is required to cut the ends of each board to...

Would Not RecommendI just got this, it's only been installed for less than a week, but it looks beautiful and I can't wait until it's all done and we can use our patio again. I know I won't have to worry about warping, splintering or wood rot or fading. and I think it's stain resistant too! The one thing though that I didn't like, was when we picked it up and got it home, Lowe's gave us 15 of the wrong color boards and then they were out of the saddle! I was told we could take it to any store and return it and...

Customer Service Unable
Would Not RecommendI had these delivered over 2 weeks ago. The delivery was a disaster and the boards are filthy. It looks like they were at the bottom of a very wet pile of other products, dripping oil on the surface. I have contacted Lowes and advised them that the product did not arrive to me as promised. I am fairly certain that with effort and expense, once installed I can have them professionally cleaned. I asked for consideration and had been offered 10% off. I requested 20% to cover my expense for clean...

Associates went out of their way to help
Would RecommendI did not like trying to get hold of a department. The system would not respond for almost a minute. And a few times it just hung up on me. What I did like the very friendly staff in person and over the phone( once I got through). Another issue was on the web site that said there were items to purchase but when talking to an associate, it was stated that the product on line had not been available for quite some time
