Composite decking
« on: August 05, 2016, 08:56:15 AM »
Finishing up an addition on the house, and need to put decking on the new deck, and replace failed composite on the existing deck. Any experience/ recommendation for brands and/ or lines within a brand. Staring at the decking display at HD or BMC is a bit overwhelming!
Thanks

I used Timbertech at my cabin and loved it.  My inlaws used it at their house and feel the same.

@haugenna and @jackelope  should both have some input on this stuff as well.

I have a somewhat gigantic deck covered in Timbertech and have been very happy with it.
@haugenna is the man regarding this topic. He'll spew info for days if you let him.

One thing I did learn after the fact is that the hardware you use is super important.

I actually posted the same time as you, then I saw the mention. Thanks for the cred's though. It's much appreciated.
Do I get a sweet parking spot with that award?

Before Haugenna chimes in I will say that this stuff was super easy to work with and the guys at Dunn Lumber were super helpful getting me parts and pieces.

I did not, I drilled and anchored through the top with the drill/countersink tool.  I was concerned with the clips breaking over time.  The clips are a much cleaner look and maybe I was just paranoid.

I didn't either. Used screws. I used decking boards on my railings for caps and the screws were essentially too stiff and broke rather than flexed a little for expansion/contraction. I need to replace the screws with stainless screws so there's a little give. It's on my to-do list. You can see where the boards popped up with the broken screws.
