I've built them out of nearly everything and had terrific results with TREX. You can even bend it to various shapes if you want a more organic look. Also, routing it is a breeze. I trimmed pieces into vertical pickets (non-structural) and used a roundover bit--I only wish all wood was so easy to shape. It installs fast, is easy to keep clean and uses plastic bags that would otherwise be in dumps or choking sea turtles.

I build fine furniture for a living; I want a practical deck to spend my time on when I am done.
