We're finalizing plans for a new house in the Pacific Northwest which will have a large, partially covered north-facing deck. For this location it seems composite might be a better fit than wood, which would really take a beating from the combined dampness of the PNW and the near constant shade of its north-facing location. Our builder recommended looking at TimberTech Legacy, and our own research has brought Fiberon into consideration. Most reviews on here are quite old, however, and the products have been redesigned since then. Does anyone have experience with the current generation of the products? Any recommendations for choosing between the two? I believe the Fiberon will be less expensive, which we'd love, but if the quality is still there.
PROIf you cannot select one or the other, pick a third one and go with Trex Transcend...
Is there a reason you prefer Trex? It was my least favorite based on appearance and texture, but we haven’t yet ruled it out.
I thought there was a Trex class action lawsuit. Not sure how that relates to standing by their product.
PROThat lawsuit was settled and they covered deck replacement for affected customers. As a matter a fact right before the winter I was looking at the deck where people filed the claim and it had nothing to do with that lawsuit, and Trex is replacing the entire deck with no questions asked, not to mention this deck was done in the early 90's.
PROHello! Sorry for the late response on this! If you haven't already purchased your new deck, then we encourage you to try out our deck calculator, we have different price points to meet your budget!
