Trex needs more support than say, redwood- and that support is regular wood, so don't expect the whole thing to last the expected life of trex. Plus trex is slippery when wet. Our redwood deck was put on the house in the mid 70's and is now in need of replacement. We're going to use Ipe- a brazilian hardwood. Good UV and rot resistance, plus it look gorgeous. Spendy-yes, but I'd rather put on one ipe deck than two redwood ones. Let us know how it turns out.
Cheers,
Paul.
