I did a deck about 15 years ago with Massaranduba. Itâ??s close to the Ipe
range but it held up great. Iâ??m getting ready to add another 10x20 & will use
the same.
Iâ??ve also used a plastic compound decking (Choicedeck) that works well but it
will be hot if not under cover & needs extra support.
Peace,

I'm looking to expand/replace the 8 x 14 deck I have now into a 16x24. It's
5/4 PT wood. What else do people like? This is a medium-budget project i.e. I
want something better than 1980s era PT pine or sagging plastic lumber but Ipe
and the like are probably out of range. I put a Trex railing in my house and I
liked the quality but 20 years ago Trex would burn your feet off and sagged.
What's available today that has a good quality per dollar ratio?
thanks,
jim
