RE:RE:RE:Lumber pricesTrex and other composites are good products. People are using more and more brown PT as well which is SPF anyway. But both are nothing compared to a cedar deck.

Products like Windstorm, Tallwall, Quakezone and Solarbord to name a few, have added millions of dollars to their bottom line. Point is you can make customers want your product and pay more but it takes work and smart management. WEF..not. enough said...GLTA
