There's nothing like the feel of wood underfoot, in fact I think but not 100% sure the composites are mush hotter under barefoot.

I used Cypress here as stated above, the stain/sealer will last at least 5 years before re-coating.
Wowee...never saw any of this. We had a wooden dock and boat lift, that lasted 23 years. I regularly stained and resealed (which was a fairly easy job!) it and replaced a few boards over the years. Always slightly envious of the new docks going in made of Trex and wished I could afford them. This is news to me, but totally plausible and makes me happy I didn't pay the exorbitant prices those docks were getting and still have issues. A little labor once a year is no biggie, I thought. Hmmm...this is surely something to think about if considering Trex.
