Composite decking (like Trex) is made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and polymer. It is virtually maintenance-free — no staining, sealing, or sanding required — and comes with manufacturer warranties of 25 to 50 years. Wood decking (pressure-treated pine, cedar, or ipe) costs less upfront but requires staining or sealing every 2–3 years and typically lasts 10–15 years. Over a 25-year period, composite decking often costs less than wood when you factor in maintenance expenses.
