UltraShield Naturale Voyager Series 1 in. x 6 in. x 16 ft. Peruvian Teak Hollow Composite Decking Board (49-Pack)

Excellent product from NewTechWood. Outstanding service from Home Depot helping me get the product home safely. All ready showing it off to the neighbors.

I used this product over a year ago to build a 2-tone 500sq ft deck. There were little to no reviews @ the time. So I spent some time w/ the manufacture via phone to make sure this was good stuff. The product it awesome. I used the black plastic t-clamps and SS hidden side clamps to install. That assured no visible screws. Looks awesome a year later. only warning the deck is in Florida and it will get very very hot.

I have had these boards for about a month only and am still in the process of installing them. I just finished the majority of the lower deck area yesterday and I still have the upper section to do. I liked the color choices for the material and being able to order both solid and grooved boards. The Peruvian Teak color goes well with the redwood I used for the pergola top. I chose to use the side of the board with the faux grain texture instead of the flatter side and I like the appearance. The deck clips are easy to install and make maintaining a uniform gap between the boards straightforward. I also used the clips to gauge the board gap between the grooved and solid boards I used for the picture box perimeter. Boards are easy to cut with a miter saw or jigsaw - be sure to use a hacksaw-type blade in the jigsaw, a wood blade bends away from the cut line once you get into the cut. Not sure why, I don't think I was pushing the saw too hard. Only issue I have is with the number of locking vs. sliding clips in a box. There are 15 locking vs. 75 sliding, so the ratio should be 1 to 5. The illustrations on the side of the box also show this ratio. I ended up using a locking clip about every 3-4 feet of board run which led me to run through locking clips faster than sliding clips. Perhaps I'm being overly cautious with the locking clips and I plan to reduce that number a bit on the upper part of my deck. I was able to loosen the clips however and slide the boards when I needed to install additional blocking underneath certain spots. Overall, I'm still very pleased with the material and the fasteners. I have attached a picture of the lower deck (12' x 16'). The upper deck (16' x 16') is just framed at this point.

what an amazing product and smart design , client was ecstatic after seeing the finished deck .

Great product. Installation with the 1/16" spacers isn't easy, but worth it. We are enjoying our deck much more now.

Absolutely awful!!!!! Very cheap. So many pieces were breaking off. I am so disappointed with it, and spent so much money working on my front porch, I’m kind of stuck with it. There were numerous problems just getting it delivered, I wish I canceled it.

Since it was Hollow this was the reason for the lower price. Didn't matter to me, love they way they look and will also do my backyard deck.

Can say enough about the decking board. It is beautiful and was used to put up a privacy fence using the frames from "SlipFence". Everyone in the neighborhood compliments how beautiful the fence is.

The hollow deck boards are much lighter than the solids. But, any additional spacing at the end of the board and you can see the holes after they are installed. The installation is much more time consuming than traditional decking and there are tricks to be learned.
