I wanted to look into the composit decks, only for the decking
material, and I opted out. I still have pressure treated stuff, with
good sealant.

I just had a two level deck built by Archdeck (www.archadeck.com) with a
new hot tub installed and we chose to use Trex for the flooring as well
as the handrails. The vertical rails, the latice privacy area and the
fundemental "skeleton" of the deck was all in pressure treated lumber.
So far we love the Trex. We have to wait a few months to stain the rails
and latice, but we understand the maintenance on that part will be minimal.
