I like the Trex a lot. I have found it to be cost effective, yet durable. With all decking and material outside, I think it will be affected by the conditions. With that said though, this stuff is far more durable than traditional lumber, regardless of how well you take care of it. I know in...

I don't have the ability to store mine inside, but I am looking into a large tent or some sort of cover. I am confident in all the winterizing, but does anyone know where to find a tent or cover. Has anyone tried american pavilion? I'm looking for a way to keep the weather off but not break...
