This is what we used when we had our dock built 4 years ago:

It still looks great after 4 years in the Florida sun. *It does
require closer spacing on the stringers however. *I was ready to go
with wood decking until I saw the WeatherBest at a neighbors.
Ours is installed with stainless steel, square drive screws. *They
have a small head which recesses into the deck when driven and become
almost invisible

What kind of research did you do when you picked this brand? *Did you
check CR?

I checked with our dock builder to see what they thought. *They are
well known around here and would not have installed it if they were
aware of any negatives. *They picked up on the requirement for closer
stringer placement but other than that were OK with it. *Fortunately
the dock had not yet been framed.

Come to think of it, that maybe what my neighbor installed.

Sounds good. *Burgers on the grill for us tonight.

I've been thinking of replacing the deck on our house - been looking
into the same deck boards and railing.

Don't know if I want to do it myself though.

You do not want to do it yourself if you want professional looking
results.
Maybe YOU can't do it yourself and get professional looking results,
but a lot of people can and DO.

You do not want to do it yourself if you want professional looking

neither the decking or railing are a simple installation like wood is.

Eon decking was rated best by Consumer Reports testing in a variety of
categories. *Mechanical fasteners are used below the deck face with no
fasteners used on the face of the decking resulting in a very clean
look. Our contractor upgraded us to Ultra (heavier) at no cost.

Can't be that hard - my next door neighbor did his deck with it and
he's a half-wit. *:)

Came out pretty good.

Eon decking, unlike Trek and similar composites is 100% plastic. *We
considered it at one point but were convinced to stick with the composites.
Apparently, it is tricky to install properly and *tends to *"pop" and
"squeak" due to a higher thermal expansion coefficient. * It also is
reported to scratch easily. * We were told that most contractors try to
advise against it.

Not knocking the OP's choice .... just stating our experience for the
benefit of others. *Research first.

If you are in the sun, the plastic gets hotter than fire, too! My
neighbor did an Eon deck, and took the boards up the next year and
used good old PT deck boards

The composites get hot too.

They just don't bend out of shape like Eon.

What??
First... JustWait and Tom are buddies
second... JustWait seems to have some experience working with wood so it
shouldn't be that big a jump to composite material
third.. JustWait has a habit of getting woundup at times but Tom seems able
to control anything too outrageous..
I thought my suggestion made perfect sense.

Duh! Boats...maybe.


Feel free to ignore the schists and discuss boat.


They are incapable of that - WAFA mentally, WARP17 emotionally, and the
