Anyone have experience with composite decking?

It's easy to hit $2-2.50/ft if you want to go with much richer colors, but I'm guessing I'm going to need about 2000+ feet just for the deck surface alone-that doesn't even touch new posts, rails, caps, etc.

$25 a board.....I can't imagine spending $25/ft. For that price I'd want heated boards so I didn't have to shovel the snow. I meant to say $0.99/ft.

Yeah, so regular price, this is about 25% less with some darker stuff available on sale at $1.49/ft (normally in that $2/ft range). That has me stretched a little tighter than I'd like to do it cuz the extra $1000 can add up on the posts/rails pretty quickly.

Ah, regular price is $2. I hear that about the posts and rails.....I think they spent more on that than the composite wood, but after painting all the posts and rails a few times they said it was worth it. Good luck with the project....it's a lot upfront, but it's practically maintenance free.
