We have a large covered front porch (60 X 12 overall) and a 16' square deck out back, all Georgia yellow pine (treated) Original to 25 year old house, I have replaced a few boards here and there but not many. Hot summers and wet periods, but boards don't get hot in the sun, no problem for dog or walking in bare feet. I keep them painted with deck paint. Boards (16 X 6) got quite pricey back a while ago ($60. per!!) but have since gone back down to reasonable territory. I have no experience with composites, just what I know of the neighbor's decks-I think it is critical that the composites are installed correctly, otherwise they can warp.
