ALL the cedar trim is rotting, moss ridden, cracked and now must be replaced. the trim we did in the best cedar we could get, clear, tight grain, red cedar.

If you believe the boards are defective in anyway after being properly installed please contact our customer care team at 1-80. ![]() However when the boards are fastened as recommended they are usually drawn down flat to the joists, or drawn inward to straighten them out. Regarding your boards laying flat, Trex is a composite board made up of recycled wood and plastic so like all composites the Trex boards naturally expand and contract which means slight curvature and bowing is a typical characteristic with these materials up to an extent.

We figured we would rather use the saved $$ for something else.ĭid we make a mistake or will the select indeed be just fine as far as potential issues go?Īs FYI, we are building in upstate SC and it will be essentially second floor deck as we have a walk out basement. We chose the select version as we could not tell much of a difference between the two besides texture and thickness and was told that both would hold up just as well and it'd save us $2500.
