I love my 1week old new Trex Enhance Honey Grove decking. My contractor is the best in the business. The only thing that is throwing me is: Ants! I have a whole new treated pine foundation as well. With my last wood deck 21 yrs old, I had ants. Nature is nature and when weather warms, rains and they're thirsty they come. They could be falling with the leaves from the trees. However, I sweep all day to get leaves off and I never ever eat out there. These are not carpenter ants, I think. Can't spray just anything on composite decking but soapy water actually kills them. Be careful cause slippery. So bottom line is, 1 week and few days of sitting and not looking for ants to now on the prowl; therefore, "pest resistant" DOES NOT MEAN ANTS. Just saying.

Have purchased lengths of island mist. I purchased a mix of 3.6 and 4.8 metre lengths. The pattern was with the 3.6m lengths on one side, 2 lengths at a right angle and then the 4.8m lengths on the other. Despite using the trex hidden fixings and ensuring all boards were fitted tightly to these one side ended 2cm further out than the other. I checked everything and found that the 4.8m lengths were approx 2mm wider than the 3.6m lengths leading to a discrepancy at the end of the deck. Not very satisfactory for what is an expensive product.
