So it's been more than a few years since I've thought about building a deck. I'm to the point where I can start collecting materials.

Way back when I thought I'd do this, reviews on Trex were horrible. Azek wasn't much better, but better than Trex. Heat retention/radiation, warping, finish cracking, etc.

What's happening now in the world of composite decking? I'm thinking of a medium brown, or perhaps a grayed brown. I haven't started looking in person, but I've begun reading. It's looking like in the long run, composite decking saves a lot of money.

What's your opinion? What's your experience? When did you build your deck and how has it endured?

Thanks!
