Replacing my decking on farmers porch. I like trex and Azek , been wondering can get the decking with tongue &grove ? I like the standard width they sell. I was also wondering can I but a tongue &grove myself before I install the deck? Or is this a bad idea? I have a porch that is 6’ by 66’ rap around porch I’m also gonna bread board this or picture frame it. Any opinion would be greatly appreciated.

With this renovation, the goal was to take the space occupied by a little-used second-floor deck adjacent to an art studio and incorporate it into the rest of the postmodern shingle-style house built in 1995.

Decking and porch flooring are two different products. If this is a porch, with a roof, then use porch flooring not decking. The composite T&G porch flooring requires 16" o.c. framing as does composite decking. Most old porch are not framed 16" o.c. I don't know what you mean by bread board or picture frame?
