It's snowing hardcore in Wisconsin right now. I love it when it snows because that is the only time I like to look out the window at my deck...when it's completely covered by a thick layer of snow.
Every time I look at my Trex deck I throw up a little in my mouth.

Trex Class Action Lawsuit
The following was posted to Facebook from a user group created by angry Trex Deck owners:
"Talked to a gentleman from the attorney's office of Hagens Berman in, I believe California, that is suppose to be handling the lawsuit against TREX. He claims that th class action lawsuit should be starting very soon. I told him I had filed for acceptance to the suite and he sent me a questionnaire to fill out and return. We talked about all the people having issues with TREX and the problems with the mold returning in 6-8 weeks after cleaning.
I also mentioned that when I purchased TREX ACCENT decking in 2007, I was not given any form of warranty and never told about Mold issues or so called "low maintenance" decking. I was sold on the "maintenance free" decking. Matter of fact I never received any form of warranty explanation until I filled out a TREX questionnaire and complaint form...they happily slipped one in their return mailing to me...oh, and with denials of any wrong doing."
I have asked this user to keep the group updated regarding this class action. If it becomes anything I will post information here.

Decking Season 2012!!!
Deck season is just around the corner. I'm pretty excited for this year! This is the last year I will be dealing with cleaning my persistently moldy Trex deck! That's right, I'm completely tearing down my deck and replacing it with real wood.
My train of thought is that if I have to put this much time/energy/money into maintaining a deck I might as well have the real thing. I'll be building the new deck out Ipe (Brazilian hardwood).
Removing Trex decking products from my property is going to be a monumental day at the household. If I could, I'd like to ship my cruddy Trex deck to Trex and let them try to deal with it.
Stay tuned for pictures.

Trex Removed from Home Depot Online
A number of customers have complained to Home Depot regarding just how bad a product Trex decking is. I went out to check some product reviews of Trex on Home Depots website only to find that you can no longer view Trex decking products on their website. If we were actually able to get Home Depot to remove this product from their website this is a huge win.

My Trex Deck Blog
I built a Trex Deck about four years ago. Trex billed its decking products at the time as "no-maintenance". Since then my deck has been a nightmare of persistent mold that requires numerous cleaning materials just to make the deck look presentable.
I have tried to work with Trex regarding their poor product but it has gotten me nothing but more frustration. I'm short on time now, but I look to use this blog as an entry way to warn other customers about Trex Decking and the many problems they will face with this poor product.
