Porches & Decks

If not Trex, what should I go with?

12 years ago

I am building a new home and will be adding approx a 14x20 deck on the rear of the house. I have read a lot of post on the negative comments of Trex on mold, fading, stains etc, but then I also find negative comments on most of the others like Azek on fading and stains. So what do you all suggest is a good product to use?

Thanks

Trex is defentley the worst but all the manmade decking/railing have limits. They are not perfect. I am not pitching the caped decking yet its just too new.

I have just installed a deck made with Azek decking. I highly recommend it. I used tiger claw clips hidden fasteners and it came out great.
