Why wood you?
Over 30 years ago, we asked a simple question: why does a deck have to be so much work? Wood worked for a while, but it faded, splintered, and needed constant upkeep. We believed there had to be a better way, so we invented it.
We took reclaimed materials and turned them into something extraordinary: decking that looks amazing, lasts for decades, and frees you from the never-ending cycle of sanding and staining. Welcome to more time spent hosting, relaxing, and making memories, and less time dealing with repairs. See how a Trex fence compares to wood.

Ditch the Downsides of Wood
Wood comes with its challenges—from environmental impact to constant upkeep and eventual decay. It’s time for something new.
Insect Damage
Wood is highly vulnerable to damage from destructive insects like termites and carpenter bees.
Deforestation
Harvesting virgin wood contributes to deforestation, habitat destruction, and increased carbon emissions, significantly impacting the environment.Splinters
Over time, wood can develop cracks and splinters, turning your deck into a less comfortable and safe space for bare feet and hands.
Tough Clean Up
Spills on wood don’t just stay on the surface—they tend to seep in. Cleaning often requires extra effort, like scrubbing, sanding, or refinishing, to restore its appearance.
Rotting
Moisture and wood aren’t the best combination. Over time, exposure to rain and humidity can lead to rot, compromising the deck’s strength and durability.
Color Fading & Staining
Wood can lose its original charm as UV rays cause fading, and stains leave lasting marks, requiring consistent maintenance to keep it looking its best.
