What alternative to wood have you used for your deck?
Are you so happy with the price, the quality, and the outcome that you would
do the same again?

Deck area will be 24 x 30 more or less with railing where the deck is not
attached to the house and two set of steps.
Very wet and cold, but generally not freezing winters with strong sun year
round.

Googling "deck materials" (in quotes) turned up a mere 13,000 hits, of which the
first few look very interesting.
