#TREX SADDLE SERIES#

We also like the shades offered by the company across their lineup and feel like the pricing is fair on their mid-range to low-end composite decking.Ĭons: Trex doesn’t have nearly as many series or products as some brands, so the selection is somewhat limited. Pros: We found that Trex’s products are a little easier to obtain and price for average consumers and those who may want to go the DIY route. They are still going strong today and are considering one of the better composite decking brands by homeowners and professionals alike. The company turned thing around soon after with the launch of their Transcend lineup, better overall products, and a longer warranty. There are a lot of negatives reviews from the company’s earlier product lines but all that changed after 2008 when Ron Kaplan was made CEO. Trex Composite Decking Pros, Cons and RatingsĪs mentioned, Trex led the charge in the composite decking world, and when you’re first to market, there can be some mishaps. Anything from the Trex Naturals line is about $10 more, but still considerably less than the company’s top option. Whereas a 1 x 6 plank at 12 feet would set you back $56 at the premium tier, the same board in Beach Dune from the Enhance Basic line is around $22. As you might expect, the Trex Select price is cheaper as the same size boards are roughly $10 – 15 less depending on the shop. A 20 foot 2 x 6-inch plank is close to double at $100 and covers 9 square feet. Pricing on Trex Transcend starts at around $56 for a 12 foot 1 x 6-inch square edge or grooved board. In addition to those shops, Trex Composite Decking is available at a variety of dealers and smaller hardware across the United States. While they may not be able to ship direct in some cases, they will ship to your local store. The same goes for Lowes and Home Depot although both have decking listed online. 84 Lumber does not have any stock online at this time, so you will want to call and inquire on its availability beforehand. With Trex, you’ll need to take a look at Home Depot, Lowes or 84 Lumber if you’re interested in their decking and would like to check it in person. Decking is a little different as it takes up more store space, and composite decking is still considered a specialty product by many retailers. When you’re dealing with things like hardwood and tile, you can generally buy online or pick up what you need locally at a big box retailer.

The Trex Enhance Basic price is definitely in the budget-friendly range, but you will get the same 25-year warranty along with all the benefits that come with composite decking. Both Trex Enhance Basic and Naturals come in standard lengths and widths although 2-inch grooved boards are not an option with this particular series.
