Update: We built a deck using Trex Transcends Lineage in color Rainier, finished just in time for a July 4th bbq.. We love the color and texture, and especially like that our dog and cat can lay on the deck in full sun. They don’t seem to be bothered by the deck’s heat. I’ve moved furniture around carefully and so far there are no scratches on the deck. It’s easy to keep clean with daily sweeping, but we do occasionally hose it down if there are wet, muddy paw prints. Since the hose water doesn’t soak into the composite planks, I use a big towel under my feet and dance around to speed up the drying.
