I’m designing a deck in California’s Wine Country and I have a client who is interested in using an “environmentally responsible” decking materials. I’m not real hot on Trex and the related products but I also must confess a real ignorance about the subtleties of the different wood composite products that are out there. Any recommendations on other wood products? Anybody had any positive experience with one in parrticular that separates it from the others? Basically my decking vocabulary involves Cedar, Redwood and the thinner Ironwood product. There is an overhead trellis that obviously can’t be made out of a wood composite – at least not that i know of – but the possibility of painting everything is something the client is open to so we could use a composite on the deck while painting the other wood to match. It would be a shame to paint the redwood.
