Timbertech Legacy Capped Coposite Decking

We just finished this little project that gave us a chance to use the newest offering from Timbertech.  The decking is from their "Legacy" collection and is the "Tigerwood" color.  It is held down with hidden fasteners and features a mitered border.

 

Now for a quick review of the product: 

The Legacy collection is probably the best looking composite decking i have seen.  It has a varied color with wood grain appearance and lots of texture. 

There is a few things going on with the texture, first there is an embossed "wood grain" as well as a hand scraped scalloped effect.  The problem with all this texture is that the scallops seem to prevent water from draining off the decking, this combined with boards that consistently had a slight cup at the ends made for a very wet deck.

Timbertech’s Legacy decking  will be very popular with homeowners due its great appearance but I think that in our damp climate its tendency to pool water on the deck  is going to keep me from recommending it to my customers, at the very least I will be letting people know about this decking’s tendency to stay wet after a rain.
