| Hi all!
I've been reading posts on the temp differences between decking materials. I am in mid-Maryland, but in some weird "atmospheric trough" (long story) that gives me a microclimate of southern Georgia/northern Florida. HOT. The area where I want to deck is unsheltered. Does anyone know which is the coolest material? Durability is important, but I know no one will recommend untreated lumber. A friend who has a pool company adamanetly recommends against any composit material. He says even his clients hate it because it remains perpetually hot. True?
Opinions are sought and welcome.

| My light tan Azek gets warm in the hot sun in Connecticut but it has never been too hot to walk on. John |

| My Saddle colored Trex on the covered porch in CT gets very hot when the sun is low enough to shine directly on it. Can't walk on it barefoot. |
