I used hand-picked 5\4 x 6 PT pine decking to resurface my deck . . . I
found that I should have bought 16' lengths versus trying to save a few
I'm the OP.
I had eliminated the composite stuff because I read a lot of reviews
complaining of mold that would keep coming back, even after repeated
bleaching. I also read about other problems like flaking - for the price,
I'd expect zero maintenance.
Maybe I should reconsider the composite - does anyone know what that
composite is that they use for the beach benches in Florida - seems like if
it'd last there, it'd be OK anywhere.
Suggestions??
I used Trex Transcend - and it washes up very easily and does NOT
support mold or moss. At less than double the cost of cedar I figured
it was a pretty decent deal.
