With proper maintenance, hardwood decking like Spotted Gumand jarrah can last 30 years or more, while treated pine provides excellent performance at a lower cost.

Yes, Trex composite decking expands and contracts with temperature fluctuations, as with most composite materials. To account for this natural movement, it?s essential to leave a gap between boards during installation. The recommended gap is 5mm to 8mm for end-to-end board spacing and 3mm to 5mm between side edges of the boards. These gaps ensure that the decking can expand and contract without causing buckling or warping.

Yes, it is highly water-resistant and ideal for use in coastal areas or poolside. The capped surface prevents moisture absorption, protecting against swelling, rotting, or warping.

Trex recommends using screws designed for composite decking, such as those made from stainless steel or coated to resist corrosion. Avoid using regular wood screws as they can cause splitting or rust.
