Re: Synthetic Decking: Best Buy or Absolute Nightmare?

I suppose it's like everything - nothing is perfect. I have some synthetic boards on a stoop out back - on the wife's insistence - even though I'm no fan of the stuff either. Its ends are not and cannot be made attractive, it has no real strength, and scratches can't be fixed. However, it doesn't splinter either - (which drove the decision). So it gets my vote for low maintenance, but not for appearance.
