Driving around my part of town, I can't help but see all the new composite decks going up

I counted five just on my street this past weekend, where a few years ago it was all wood. People seem to prefer the no-paint, no-rot appeal now, which I get. It's a practical change, even if it makes every backyard look a bit samey. Guess the weekend warrior's dream has shifted from building to just not maintaining.

Lol, are you kidding? Wood decks are a total headache to keep up. Composites look great these days and you actually get to use your backyard instead of fixing it all the time.

Helped a friend tear out his rotten wood deck last summer. He was always staining it but the weather just beat it up anyway. Now he has a composite one and says he'll never go back.
