Time to go take another look at that fake decking stuff. Anybody have experience with it and particularly how it looks after a few years?
I had a Redwood deck which my dogs destroyed unintentionally just by being dogs and which needed oiling all the time. When I moved I used the Lowes generic version of TREX for a deck. You need to pre-drill the holes to screw it into the joists but it cuts with a circular saw just like wood. I have had it 2 years and it still looks good and the dogs have not scratched it up. It also does not fade too much as I discovered when the tree trimmer backed his truck into it and I had to replace a board.
