Okay – So I went to my local Home Despot to get (4) TufBoard 1x6x10 trim boards. I just needed to replace the rotten boxing around a 4×4 porch column, okay? Kind of pricey, but I have great success with the stuff.
Cellular PVC, like Azek; even rated for ground contact. I glue it with regular viscosity (gold label) PVC plumbing cement.
So they’re clearancing the stuff – either $1, $2, or $3 per board. Some are regularly as high as $29.65!
I got all they had – got some projects upcoming that will eat a lot of it.
Totaled 1650+ feet; regular price just over $2000.00; I paid –
$350.96!
Check your Home Depots!!
Forrest – pleased with myself

DammSkippy you stole it!
How'd you get that slippery stuff to stay in the truck ? LOL

Slippery is right! I lost a load of Tendura once at an intersection. This time I had the tailgate closed, with the 12' stuff over it. I opened it just for the braggin' picture.

Good job! Our HD carries NerverRot, not Tufboard, so there are no sales here (if ever, of anything.) I'm often mystified why a national chain carries different brands of similar products at different stores. Must be supply and demand, or regional sales.

Probably transportation costs. If they've got to ship it halfway across the country vs. 300 miles from a different company's factory, the slim margins get eaten up.http://grantlogan.net/

Ahhh, you're probably right.

So instead of being called a wood butcher, you can now refer to yourself as a PVC masseuse.
i'm calling the cops,that has to be illegal to take advantage of a poor little old store manager like that .
nice score,even though i'm jealous larry
if a man speaks in the forest,and there's not a woman to hear him,is he still wrong?
Nice score!
I used some Tufboard on a recent project. We use a lot of Azek and Kleer; the Tufboard seemed to have a wood flour component and was stiffer (and more brittle.) I'd still take it for less than 1/4 price!
I know where I'm going, hopefully it's availble and on sale here in Jersey.
You just earned the title of Rez jr. with that score!!!
