Composite Decking

[L Rayo X]

Greetings to all... I'm a GC in Sebastopol, CA. Business has been slow so I am closing in on the completion of a total rebuild of my own home. My local lumber yard has sold it's soul to Trex - they no longer stock anything else - and wants to sell me a Trex product for $2.95/lf. An out of town lumber yard is closing out their line of GAF-Elk Crosstimbers for $1.29/lf. I need enough decking such that the savings would exceed $5,000. I'm looking for some feedback on the GAF product. I've seen the YouTube video showing a splotchy reaction to sunlight but would like to have feedback from professionals such as yourselves. Thanks ahead of time for your interest.

STAY AWAY from the crosstimbers it's an absolute junk product (thus the reason for the clearance) I would look for Fiberon Horizon or GAF Duralife (formerly Correct Deck CX).

According to my opinion ever grain is the only premium composite decking material made with a compression molding process. This gives ever grain decks the deep lasting grain that resembles real wood while offering all the benefits of a composite.
