UltraShield Naturale Voyager Series 1 in. x 6 in. x 16 ft. Hawaiian Charcoal Hollow Composite Decking Board (10-Pack)

The decking looked great and was easy to install, especially with the hidden fasteners. The only bad thing about it is that it only comes in 16' lengths. I had a 19' deck that would have been ideal for 20' boards. Also the length of the 16 footers is only 16' and 1/4". I have a 4' wide bridge and should have been able to get 4 pieces out of each board, but could only get 3 because the width of the saw blade took too much out. They should be 16' and 2" which would have given me what I needed. The end caps fit nicely, and eliminate the need for "picture framing" your deck if you don't want to.

Great product and installation was easy. I would use it again!

Ordered Newtechwood deck materials for a waterfront home in Florida. Not a lot of installations around here. Bought over $6000 worth of decking. Delivery was fast and efficient. Came on a 16-foot pallet which was placed carefully on side of driveway. I'm a 72-year-old do it yourselfer. I used the plastic "T" spacers which gave me a 1/4-inch space between boards for drainage. 600 square foot deck went together smoothly and pretty quickly. I used contrasting charcoal boards for the edges and breaks. I'm quite happy with the way things turned out.

I really like this decking! I like that you have 2 different grain patterns on each plank; I used the Spanish Walnut smooth grain. I built an 18’x 12’ courtyard deck (used 16’ planks for no seams) level with the slab height of condo so you can just walk out. I removed 18’ of soil to give room for joists, drainage and required ventilation. NewTechWood says go 12” to 16” on center for joists. The planks are very flexible so it has a little give with 16” OC, I would go 12” if I were to do it again. I bought a Diablo Trex saw circular blade and it cut smoothly. Deck is very easy to work with. I used the hidden clip system for a tight fit. It went down fast! I only had 3 planks where the cut end was visible so I used the matching end caps, they look great. The only negative is it does get hot, not too hot to use, but you don’t want to sit on it in August (I had to during build). The next door neighbor had a deck contractor come out to refinish their teak deck and he said “that’s the good stuff” when he saw my deck. It looks so realistic everybody thinks its real wood. All the neighbors now want a NewTechWood deck too. I built this deck as a surprise gift for a good friend who works overseas and only gets home for a couple of weeks every other month. She hired a contractor to build a deck w/o supervision when she was out of town and he built a junk deck (it was 2’ higher than slab and was only 10’x10’, it looked more like a band stand). The next time she left town, I ripped out the crap deck and built this deck as a surprise. She cried when she saw it the first time she was so happy! I love the look and easy install. I will use it again for sure. It’s not cheap but worth cost. Love It! Love it! Love it!

Great product so far. The color and grain patterns are excellent with one side more complicated and modern and the other more traditional looking. Hollow core is vastly superior with decreased weight and increased stiffness. So far performing well in rain. Was easy to work with and had no problem hiding screws in the grooves on some end run boards.

Overall the aggravation and hassle to try to get my new deck order from NewTechWood will go down as the worst retail experience I’ve ever had. I started my order June 14 and it’s July 19. I have an unfurnished front deck with only the frame in place. I just received the Hollow boards after given the run around and misinformation. They weren’t in the best shape and to top it off I can’t do anything with them as I still haven’t received the solid boards for my staircase and noone could give me an ETA on when to expect them. All I get is they are on backorder So now 3 weeks later I have my NewTechWood fascia boards, hollow deck boards and railings but am still stuck!! This nightmare just will not end. I will be returning everything and restarting my order process with a different product hoping that will go better than this did. So no front deck for another few weeks at the very least. Never again NewTechWood

Great material quality and easy to assemble using the right clips and the right screws. I used it on aluminum frame which should make my deck weather proof for many years to come.

Provided review of these boards and their finished edge boards. Look great, but clip attachments were too complicated for contractor. Used screws instead.

The boards look great and are easy to install. The only draw back I noted is that it seems to scratch easily and dark colors shows dust more.
