You can see the Trex display that shows the wear and tear of pressure treated lumber from day one to year 16. Spoiler alert it doesn't look great at year 16. An alternative to traditional pressure treated lumber is Trex enhanced naturals, which comes with a 25-year warranty. In addition to a long life, a Trex system only requires a power wash once a year. It may be pricier, but it more than pays for itself in the long term.Follow along to see every level of Trex decking systems; you will be blown away by the quality, variety," and beauty of these systems.
