We had it in our deck up north, it looks good but isn’t made for heavy traffic. The plastic clips that spaced the boards do break and after 15 years it did have faded areas where the sun hit the deck. I would think it would be cheaper just to use the same materials as before. I wouldn’t want to look at decades old Trex.
