Not to mention that trex and most (all?) of the composits use sawdust.Normally YP that will swell, and it mildews and down here we have to use composite deck screws.. Ooops preaching to the choir

I've seen some cheaper composites come apart after a few years. Very surprising.

Speaking of PT wood. What do you think of the ACQ stuff?

Seems to be ok. Check back with me in 30 years.
The key is not to bury the cut end of the post in the ground. AQC is definately not aluminum friendly. We'd fail inspection if we used the old unpainted utility coil behind a ledger. I've been using thin copper coil stock a bit lately. Otherwise its green and ugly as always.
What do you think of it?

Yeah, coming back into vogue, but expensive.

A neighbor before I left NC had his kitchen done with a poured epoxy floor. It was beautiful and suppose to be the same thing that the wap class has on her mess decks. Had enough give that it felt like hospital floors.

Is that the stuff that's popular in garages these days? There are 3 grades and I believe the best is a bit spongy...a very little bit.
