Re: Synthetic Decking: Best Buy or Absolute Nightmare?
If you are thinking of using Azek decking, think again and save your money!! I've been building decks for over 30 years and have never ran up on a nightmare like this before! Walking on Azek decking is like walking on a waterbed. It gives between the joists. After installation, the butt joints have a 3/8" gap between them. Met with the company rep today and he said if you don't want the boards to give when you walk on them, you have to put the floor joists on 12" center, yet they recommend 16" on center. He's never seen the product shrink like that before so he's having to investigate further. Azek decking is huge waste of money! Buyers BEWARE!!!
