If you go composite, read the instructions as most are 12" on center on the diagonal. Possibly steps, too. Need minimum air space under it, also.

Cedar decking
2
Well, we moved into a house last year and the decking looks pretty bad.
It's cedar with no gaps in between the boards. The deck looks like it hasn't been taken care of fo a number of years. The bottom of the boards still have stain on the from when it was put down.
What do you guys think of cedar deck over composite? I am pretty rough on my deck dragging chairs across and shoveling it quite often in the winter for the dogs. We entertain quite often with a lot of children coming over.
If I go back with cedar should I seal the bottom of the boards like the previous owner did?
