Lol my wife picked the pricey TREX color. I thought I was spending $14 a board. More like $35 lol.

Redid my deck a couple years ago. Went with Trex and their lighting options. Never regret it, but shit is it pricy. Went from an 8x24 wood to 12x24 with 12x16 drop and wrap around the corner of the house.

I finished our 16x22 deck with Trex 'transcend' composite boards 18 years ago.
They still look new.

We have had 2 trex decks installed over the past 20 years in Parker/Havasu and both times the decks have aged terribly, boards turning to sawdust. Both times, the product has been covered by warranty, which is nice - but still a pain to rip out, replace, etc. I’m not convinced the product does well in extreme heat, dry conditions.

I’m now looking at trex alternatives as we redo the deck this winter. Has anyone used the aluminum deck products that are out there? Hard to believe, but they claim to stay cooler in the heat and have lower costs to maintain over time.

I'm just finishing up our deck with Azek it's full composit not a wrap like trex, expensive though and has a 25 year guarantee.

I have seen gates fail in Phoenix that were made from trex. I thought maybe because they were using a thinner product, but I think the extreme heat does it in.
