I can see that as a concern, particularly as you are inevitably gonna run into recycled plastics.
Just kind of interested in how much work they've put into durability under extreme heat, because my buddy put a lot of research into what the specs were on durability under UV and durability under changing conditions [hot to cold].
And I must say, it's a sweet deck. Now to see how it looks 10-15 years from now.

Perhaps that's one of the problemamias.

I just started a new job today doing deck preservation and stuff like that. It has been good so far.

Those steps haven't been painted yet. The kickboards were recycled from the previous stairs, but the decking on the stairs is an unpainted redwood. Despite the grain patterns in the wood playing tricks on your eyes, they're completely straight and level now. In some spots we had to make a 3" adjustment to the right side.

I wasn't as concerend about the temperature affecting durability as I was comfort. I've experienced a hybrid wood and trex deck in 90 degree heat. The trex was too hot to stand on and I had to jump over to the wood decking. I can't imagine how that would affect not only the comfort on his feet, but also the surrounding temperature if the plastic is holding that much heat. If he were allowed to cover the deck, that would be another story.

this deck progress is going really slow as far as I can see.

I think for an accurate picture of what's going on now, we should all go rent Leaving Las Vegas. For Phil's part, just picture Elizabeth Shue with a much bigger head and a goatee.

Well, it's tomorrow lazy ass!

;)

Ahh, good point, work that lazy biotch to the bone.

Oughtta post pics of you lounging with a drink in your hand while Phobia's on his hands and knees poppin nails into the deck!

;)

That's what I was thinkin

"Okay, deck boy, if you get enough done tonight, you get a single clue as to where the truck is being stored. If I don't see progress, then you only get a piece of the truck, removed with a sledgehammer"

Wow, you have a big deck.

That broad's legs are horrible. I sure hope she can cook at least.

Phil gonna still be there Tuesday night?

his wife hopes not.

Gettin' horny, eh?
