Customer Reviews for Trex Select 1 in. x 6 in. x 1 ft. Pebble Grey Composite Deck Board Sample

This product and its advertising is untrue!!! I installed a deck and our footprints stained the product!! Trex does not stand by its product as advertised. You get the run around by their agents and end up having to purchase other material to replace the new unreliable material!!! DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT

Good product. Moves more than expected. Easy to work. Needs a lot of support

In 2019, I used this Trex product to replace a 250 Sq ft deck. I found it more difficult to properly install than wood. It's more difficult to keep straight lines since it is more flexible and installation is more costly due to the need for special screws and flashing tape. I installed the decking on a 45 degree angle, so max joist spacing is 12". As the title states, I love the way it looks and it should last for many years, but wood installs much easier. My advice to anyone who wants to use this product, read the manual, install per the manual, don't skimp or take shortcuts. Do it right and it will look great and last for many years.

I decided to extend my deck so started searching for trex decking and read reviews and couldn’t believe anyone would give this product anything lower than a 4. I installed trex decking on my 8’ by 16’ deck replacing rotted wood 3 years ago. It still looks brand new, and was so easy to install. I highly recommend this product, although initially will cost more than treated wood this will long outlast treated wood and is totally maintenance free. No restaining, no nail holes, no slivers.

Bad bad bad material. Not sure this was rated so high. Boards don’t lay flat no matter what you do. Hidden fasteners are a joke and they don’t hold anything (and many times screws break in them). See pictures for a deck that was installed 5 months ago. Customer support is the worst you can think of, they don’t care. Refer you to the installation guide (followed to the letter) and say it is your problem.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Trex Decking is a great decking option! Beautiful faux wood grain finish and amazingly easy to clean! Being made from 95% recycled materials is a big plus for me. I really like it is also splinter free. Beautiful color too!

Easy to cut and install . No curved , crowned boards , Trex is straight and the width dimensions are consistent most of the time. I highly recommend this product to replace pressure treated decking on any exterior deck project.

YOU WILL GET MOLD AND FADING. I had a deck built with Trex decking board some years ago because it was supposed to be fade and mold/mildew resistant. Within months the deck got black with mold and then the color faded. There was a class action lawsuit, which was settled without me receiving anything. Trex recommended cleaning with Olympic deck cleaner, which I do. However, this still fails to completely remove the black mold and contributes to fading the deck color even more. If it weren't for the irreparable mold and fading problems, I would be happy with the deck.

Great looking, easy to work with, Deck Boards and 2x6 solid in Saddle color. Now lets see how long it last. Enhance Composite Decking Boards

Trex lasts . . Our decks 19 years and counting. . . . We have three decks, using the 2 x 6 nominal installed on the West, and South sides of our Oregon house . . . the trim we did in the best cedar we could get, clear, tight grain, red cedar . . . the decks look like we just put them in . . . ALL the cedar trim is rotting, moss ridden, cracked and now must be replaced . . . we know a couple who had a cedar deck for thirty years 15 miles from us, and it all had to be replaced 4 years ago . . . we pressure wash it every few years or so, or whenever the wife threatens me, whichever is later . . . stains from the BBQ come out with a light pressure wash and sometimes I have to go over the stains themselves 2 or 3 times, but chicken, steak, pork, whatever BBQ sauce we are using at the moment, comes OUT. NOT as fond of the newer stuff with the cladding . . looks too fake to me, but the 4th side looks like what we have down already, so when I can swallow the cost, I'll replace the trim with the new stuff . . the whole mess will outlast us both . . . You can see from my photo, 19 years after install, and 3 years after I last pressure washed it, a little dirty, BUT the deck is fine, whille the cedar trim all around it is thrashed . . .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this sample for my honest feedback. I have a Huge Backyard. And when I say Huge, I mean 44 by 100 feet! It has a slope to it since it's built on a slight incline road. The worst part about the backyard is no place to truly entertain. I have 4 grills, 2 fire pits, lots of chairs and they all just sit on the grass. I need a deck! I sent for this sample because my siding is maintenance free and I wanted my deck to be the same. The deck will be roughly 35 feet wide and 20 feet deep, that's a lot of deck to maintain every year. So what is Trex? From their website (which I kind of live on right now getting inspiration) "Since 1996, Trex has invented, defined and perfected the composite deck category with a lineup of low-maintenance, high-performance, eco-friendly products that fundamentally change the way we live outdoors. It's no wonder so many happy deck owners consider Trex the best decking material." This material won't stain, fade, warp, rot, split, or crack and cleans up with soap and water. Wood doesn't do that, ever. When I'm ready to build, this is the material I'll use. Just in a lighter color.

Board was warped but still usable. Pick up of this online order was very frustrating - second time of getting the run around and having to talk with multiple areas (Cust Service, Lumber) to finally figure out where the board was and pick it up

Price was great. Shipping was extremely fast. Thanks a lot!!

Warning: this product is extremely slippery after rain or frost/snow. We're seeking a way to make it safe for us and any visitors. I'm so sorry we ever bought this product.

I loved the color and quality of the trex boards. It looks amazing on my new deck

Just what I needed to use for paint matching.

Using Trex to replace old pressure-treated decking on a front porch. Trex was easy to cut and install. I purchased the grooved decking and Trex hidden fasteners, so I have no visible screws - very nice! I initially wondered why the 12 foot decking was actually a couple of inches longer, until I saw in the instructions that they want you to trim off a portion of each end.

If you are trying to do a precise, level deck, Trex makes it difficult. While the bulk of the boards are the same width, there are those that aren't. Same with the riser boards. Also, if you are being mathematical when ordering (and you should because it's pricey) - Trex forgets to tell you that they recommend you shaving both ends of every board because their cuts are not square. I am not sure I would use Trex again.

Purchased 1x6 and 2x6 dark brown wood grain look deck boards. For my steps. Absolutely stunning!! I wish they had white for my rails.

Great product looks beautiful

I order what I needed and all boards were in great shape
