Trex® composite decking shown here in Trex Transcend® Spiced Rum offers superior durability, luxurious looks and decades of splinter-free fun. The deep, rich color of the deck, with realistic striations and an authentic wood grain, creates a beautiful contrast against the defined trim lines and bright colors of the home.  For more information, visit: www.trex.com

Create Hassle-free Shaded Spaces

A Trex® Pergola™ is added to this deck to offer a shady, sturdy retreat that won't crack, rot or chalk. The pergola coordinates perfectly with Trex® railing. To create comfortable seating spaces that are both durable and beautiful, benches are made from the same weather-resistant, low-maintenance Trex material.  For more information, visit: www.trex.com
