We've used quite a selection of different decking over the years. I'm sorry but for me you just can't beat wood. Western Red Cedar being our most easily and readily accessable. We pretty well do all isolated,water access only work. Every stick is up the shore on our back, plastic sure is heavy compared to cedar. It also sinks pretty fast when accidentally dropped over the side.
Pretty well never use PT unless customer specifies. Used to carry a piece of PT 2x6 on the boat ot show customers. pretty well rotten. Looked great on the outside but was rotting from the inside out. Every time you put a nail in you break the treatment.That particular piece was around 10 yrs old. I'm sure that the process has improved but in a previous life I used to haul lumber around the country for a living. Wood that did not make #2 and better quality we hauled to the PT plant and presto we now have top grade PT lumber. Give me good rough cut cedar any day, you can colour and treat it yourself or let it grey naturaly.
Happy Hammering.
