Customer Reviews for Trex Transcend 1 in. x 6 in. x 1 ft. Lava Rock Composite Deck Board Sample - Red

I used the Trex as a base for a gazebo installed on my patio. I counterbored the anchor bolts from below using 1.5" Forstner bit, I also routed some corners to ease the sharpness after the cuts ( I mitered the corners for the base). The Trex allowed me to screw the screen channel down without having to drill and anchor in my brand new concrete. I like that Trex is water proof and will not rot. It cut and drilled nicely. I easily routed channels to allow water to pass under the material when it gets inside. The color & woodgrain texture looks fantastic and worth the extra for the higher spec Trancend ( as is having the full 1" of thickness to work with for my use. My wife and I like it so much we are planning to "deck" the inside of the gazebo with Transcend to make the space an even nicer outdoor living room - we are in Houston. I was able to buy the boards in 16' lengths which was also a big plus as there are no seams.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After looking at, walking on, and spilling liquids on this deck board sample I would definitely consider it if I was in the market for new decking for our home. The thing I like the most is that the board itself is covered with a plastic-like cover, making it weatherproof. It also means no more cleaning and painting every year. It does resemble a real-life board but you can tell it is not. It appears to be made of a thick press board that is coated and shaped to look like regular deck boarding, either grooved or square edge. I also like that there are many colors to choose from, either a dark or light to match your style. I like the lighter color myself, Trex Tiki Torch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This board deck looks beautiful in my porch and ,I like this color,but is available in other styles and colors. I prefer this dark color because it give stylish and rustic look..

i'm done now with the front porch and i am disappointed i'll never buy the 20' long boards again - lot of crooked ones, very hard to work with the hidden spacers are nice, however the screws breaks sometime (i used an impact driver) overall, this is not what i expected from a premium priced product HD or the manufacturer does not deliver, which would be a nice perk at this price i have to think about buying the shorter boards to do the back porch or rather try the competition

Dimensions were not accurate to match older boards, both in width and thickness. Only by 1/8” but enough to be noticed.

Good product, good customer service at the store

Nice profile, Easy to work with. Downside only capped on 3 sides.

About the nicest color I found is why I picked Transcend. Still could use a little more grainyness. AND it is pricey.

We redid our deck with Trex boards and I couldn't be happier. It is costly but it is an investment and I will not have to redo the deck ever again.

Beautiful deck!! We used the Tiki Torch color for the main part of the deck and pictured framed the outside of the deck with Spiced Rum. Looks so amazing! Stunning!

We got the Trex Transcend to replace pressure treated decking treads on our front steps and needed 10 9ft wide planks for 5 stairs. Ordered 5 20ft pieces and brought a circular saw to the store. I was able to quickly slice them into 10ft pieces and get them into the pickup truck. The HomeDepot employee in the yard provided a red flag to tie around what was sticking out. All done in 15 minutes and now that it's installed, the Lava Rock looks fabulous!

I bought Trex deck. They do not stand behind their product. If something goes wrong. they blame the installation

The sample is a reasonable size to judge texture and color. This line is clearly very strong and easy to machine. There was adequate labeling for identification. The colors on line and in catalogs are deceiving as lighting plays a huge roll in the appearance. When planning to invest a lot of money in an upgrade, I highly recommend ordering additional samples to include the nearest colors that might be acceptable.

Advice to others is try to make sure you have enough if ordering in bulk. I was one board short and the additional board was slightly darker than the others. Otherwise great!
