Do not buy!!! It chips and scatches.
This is suppose to be an durable outside deck material. But is scratches and is chips when the lightest thing falls on it. I will need to replace this whole deck because of it. See photos. Many of the pieces I bought were too warped to use. Now I will need to remove this delicate deck planks and install more stronger one. What a waste! Yes it was cheaper than other deck boards but its half the weight and not an appropriate material for decking and should be pulled from all home depot shelves.

    The young man working at Home Depot told us he could not cut this for us because it would gunk up the saw. So we brought home long pieces hanging out of the back of the car. My husband used his chop saw and got a nice clean cut. The blade of the saw did not look gunked up at all. We did not use this for decking. Instead, we used it to cover some deteriorating cement steps. We cleaned and smoothed the surface of the steps as well as possible, then put down the decking boards with construction adhesive. We weighed down the boards with cement blocks so the adhesive would fully stick. Now we have smooth nice steps to walk down instead of unsightly crumbling ones. These boards have a grain so they are not slippery, which is good when it's raining or snowing. They are expensive but worth it, when you consider that you don't have to stain, seal, etc.

    The color looks great, cutting the boards was easy and simple with the right blade for my circular saw, installing was also simple with the Trex hideaway fasteners or clips so I didn’t have to drill into boards. Overall I’m very pleased by product only suggestion for company is going forward it would be great if they could make interior of product to match the color of exterior so that the ends don’t look a different color even after cutting.

    This is expensive but it is very sturdy and feels like its going to last a long time. My parents have a deck of this and its 4 years old and its still the same color as the day the bought it now we have matching decks. I took a picture the night that i finished it.

    We used the product for our small porch addition. We wanted to use a composite product that didn't make the project cost prohibitive. I was and continue to be impressed by it. These boards are comparable in price to other entry level composite decking but the variation of color and appearance far exceeds the others. The next level up in pricing is at about $10-$15 more per board. We used the hidden fasteners which I agree with others is overpriced (more expensive than the Trex fasteners). We had a contractor build our porch so I can't speak to the ease of installation but he didn't have any negative feedback. Super easy to clean; just a deck brush, soap and water. I'm giving four stars because it is newly completed. Overall, I really like the product and hope it stands the test of time and maybe we'll use it when it's time to build our deck.

      This composite decking was fairly simple to put down with the connectors, and I think it really makes my deck look great! The only negative to report is that most of the boards were not cut square from the manufacturer, so we had to make some more cuts and use more boards than originally expected. However, with the boards being available in store it was not a big deal to just grab more.

      Love Our New Deck!
      bought 9 of these to build the deck off of our master bedroom. They all fit in my 08 impala! seem durable as heck, and built to last. had to use a impact drill to screw this beast down though (cordless Ryobi didn't work well). Deck looks amazing and believe it will last for many years to come. circular saw cut these no problem.

        Excellent product. I installed this product about 9 years ago on my deck. It looks like new today. I ordered additional boards to expand my deck. Too back HD decided to discontinue this great product.

        Thank you for your review and for sharing your alternative use for the decking material. We must advise in this type of application we would recommend the material is used with a liner to protect it from ground moisture that could lead to premature degradation. FiberonHomeDepot

        I was disappointed that the color isn’t complete. I stained the back side of the board because it will be somewhat exposed. I am replacing decking boards that had to be stained on a privacy fence. Bummer I guess the back side will continue to be stained.
