I want to remove the old wood decking and replace with composite. With all the pros and cons, anybody have a preference? With the pool nearby, I don't want something slippery.
We like wood also. Last summer our granddaughter slipped on the deck and got a six inch long splinter across the bottom of her foot. We painted the deck with restore and solved the problem except we have to repaint again. Pooldv, what part of dfw are you in?
We're doing our deck with wolf pvc. It's around $3.50/ln ft. We've just started construction, so all of the boards are sitting on the patio. After a day of sitting in the sun, it doesn't get any hotter than the lumber. in fact, it's slightly cooler. It has what I would consider to be a medium grain. We looked at almost every manufacturer of pvc and composite that we could find. Trex's highest end has the most grain. It would be great for traction, but I don't know how comfortable it would be. We didn't even consider pt because of the maintenance and the splinters.
