My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Bending Composite Decking

14 years ago

Curious to know what methods are being used for those that heat composites or PVC to curve them into shape. The Heatcon system is what I see most often but it costs $3000. Trex makes something similar for around the same price. It seems that there should be a simple alternative to heat the boards.

Anyone have success with anything like this?
