Has anyone in Canada used Trunorth composite decking?

2 years ago

Starting my research for our deck project next year and came across this company, so of course hopped on here for reviews and was surprised to not find a single post about them. I love that they are made in Ontario, supply shouldn’t be an issue and that they use rice hulls rather than wood in their core. They seem to be featured on a lot of Canadian HGTV shows and the price point is excellent but would love to hear from some of you. Thanks in advance!

Did you ever find any reviews on Trunorth? I am also looking for reviews. We got a quote the other day for replacing two 25-year-old wood decks (500 sq ft total) with Trunorth composite. It all sounds fabulous, but the price actually stopped me in my tracks. I haven't had a chance to do any comparison shopping, so maybe the price point IS excellent.

I know there are dioxins (a known carcinogen) found in all PVC-based materials, which includes composite decking. Personally, I would not be comfortable using it in my garden.

Thanks for the reply, bus driver. I am actually searching for someone who might have experience with drilling holes in the composite.....I am aware of the regulations for height and distance between, etc. And I want rust! I live in CO and the cottage, cabin, whatever, is designed to be very rustic and resemble an old mine shack. I appreciate your reply, though!

Anyone built using 'Procell' brand of composite decking?

Saw a new brand of composite decking today called Procell. Supposedly it is an all PVC product so no mildew issues. Has anyone used this brand of composite and if so, how is it holding up? We live in the Northeast so we don't have months and months of terribly hot weather but do get the ice and snow in the winter. Opinions on this product would be appreciated.

My local TT supplier says both the major pipe guys are working with them to get a system able to pass all the code sillyness. John
