Our new place needs a deck. Somewhere around 10 x15 and built off of what is essentially a 2nd story sun room. It's actually 1st floor, but because of the lot's steep slope the ground level would be more than 2 stories below. The yard is essentially not usable, so I don't think we'll plan on stairs.
We are debating pressure treated vs. composite decking. My last experience with composite decking was 20 years ago when it was brand new. My reserve Seabee battalion built several playgrounds using Trex. Se..emed like a good product.
But, at ~40% more in cost I'm trying to balance the investment with my complete and utter lack of discipline when it comes to maintenance. We want this to last.
So...is composite worth it?
