Making some pretty general statements, and throwing all brands of composite decking in a bad light is like saying I painted something and years later it's peeling so all paint must be bad.
Yes when composite first came out there was some issues with some brands, Trex for one.
More often then not when I'm called to remove composite decking "because it failed" I find someone tryed to install it over the old floor joist that are 24" apart, the screws were installed to close to the outside edges, they tryed to install it on a 45 deg. and did not space the joist 12" apart as required.
All the Timber Tec decking I've install in the past 5 years all still look brand new.
I've seen hundreds of wooden decks that are failing, does that mean there all bad?
I've never seen a web site that that has nothing but test results on decking if I was looking for one I think I'd try a site like Consumers Reports.
If I had the money and it was localy avalible I go with IPE.
Real wood and tougher then nails, in fact it has to be predrilled to even screw into it.
