16×16 composite deck

Noel asked for a composite deck in his backyard; just a square slab.

I haven’t worked much with composite before and it’s not the miracle product I thought it was. Turns out it expands and contracts like wood (if not more?). But the part about not staining and refinishing it is certainly attractive.

It took about 16 hours start to finish. Noel bought the decking on Marketplace at a good discount and I bought the pressure treated lumber for the base.
