Has anyone here actually dealt with a wpc composite decking manufacturer directly instead of going through a store? I’ve been thinking about redoing my patio, but I keep hearing mixed things about whether WPC decking holds up or if it warps in the sun. Some guys say it’s great and basically maintenance-free, while others claim it can get slippery or fade faster than expected. I don’t really want to spend all that money only to regret it later. Thinking of cutting costs by skipping the middleman, but not sure if it’s worth the risk.
