In Reply to: O/T deck material posted by dale from mn on February 26, 2012 at 12:36:50:
About 6 years ago, I replaced the back deck on our house with the composite decking from Lowes. The stuffs a hell of a lot heavier then regular decking boards, stringers 16 inchs on center. Deck has held up well. It has a semi rough surface for no slip, yet smooth to walk on barefoot, no cracking, no warping, to splinters, no fading from its orignal color.
Now the bad part, unknown to us at the time the material being cranked out from the manufacturer had a defect in which after about year the deck looked like it had rain spots on it. You could power wash it off and it would be fine for another year. However its supposed to be maintenance free, no washing,no staining, no sun bleaching etc. Others who had used the stuff around the same time we did had the same problem.
We then recieved a notice in the mail that the manufacturer and Lowes were part of a class action lawsuit over this. We turned in a copy of the reciept and the tag thats on the end of the boards. 6 months later we were reimbursed for the cost of the decking boards. I could have replaced the material, however I can live with spending 4 hours once a year to powerwash the deck. Not to mention I was reimbursed for the material.
This was 4 years ago and the problem was supposedly corrected by the manufacturer, however I would use caution.
