Composite decking is a manmade wood made from recycled wood and plastic. It’s infinitely customizable and can be created in any color, shape, or size. Instead of going to a landfill, things like sawdust, plastic milk jugs, or single-use shopping bags are mixed with pigments, UV inhibitors, and borate preservatives to create the boards for your long-lasting beautiful new deck. Textures, if desired, are embossed on each board before it cools. A 20-foot stretch of composite wood decking represents over 30 pounds of recyclables that won’t end up in a landfill. Not only is composite wood eco-friendly, it’s also sturdy and low-maintenance ― boards will never splinter, rot, or need staining.
