Trex or wood deck

Which one would you go for? Besides cost, why would you choose one over the other?

THANK YOU!!!

Re: Trex or wood deck

My contractor recommended wood because he said when you put the screws into the Trex, it "bubble" up around the screw head, since it's plastic. He also said that over the years, they warp and cup.

I'm just going by what he told me....

Re: Trex or wood deck

my in-laws put in trex and while it lasts longer....EVERYTHING stains it, I mean everything. They had someone spill iced tea on it this weekend and even after sanding it out, you can still see it.

I mean don't get me wrong, it is pretty and lasts forever (& no splinters) but the staining is annoying.
