I am getting ready to finally build my deck. It is going to be 524 sq ft. I have been set on tigerwood. We like the longevity of it and the contrasting colors. I was getting ready to order it and somehow got to looking at composites. I am looking for maintenance free but am still having a hard time grasping the whole composite idea, since we do have a "wood" shop. Does anyone have any experiences with either? If you do, what do you like/don't like about it? Thanks
