We went from treated lumber to Trex in our home up North. Yes, it does get hotter, but I would rather put up with that instead of splinters, curling planks, etc. Also, maintenance is an issue. With composite material, the color is throughout the piece. In the ground, concrete pads so nothing can rot. That would be my choice if putting in a deck. Also, so many changes in the composite material department since we had a deck put in so many years ago.
