Did you not have to install blocking around the post for the decking to attach to?

[@petersonfamily6223]

Looks great and love the color.

I believe that’s the Trex Transcend Lineage in Biscayne. I used this for my grandmas deck and it’s beautiful. Does not get hot in the summer and has a realistic look to it.

What is the run on your stair stringers?

[@zacharymiley8497]

Is the entire deck Rocky Harbor? We looked online and liked that color but saw it in a store and it didnt look that that board in this video (which we like). Also is there facia that matches all colors

[@TheTrexCo]

Yes it is Rocky Harbor.

[@HarmonsHarbor]

The fluorescent lighting in the stores is probably off the colors.

Can you cut the sleeve flush to the top rail and place a decking board on top of all the rails?

[@TheTrexCo]

Hello, thank you for reaching out. We do not recommend putting a decking board on top of the rails. If you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out 1-800-289-8739. - Trex Customer Care

Great work, everyone!

[@craftman5632]

That's how it's done boys.

[@crazytestpilot9434]

You have exposed cuts on your stairs. Maybe you could bevel the riser cuts on the fascia and bevel the riser board ends for a clean finish. You're to good to have this kind of fail. No exposed cuts allowed my friend.

🤦‍♂️

Great tips!

[@FJBsaidcornpop]

Hey, you must have done one hell of a job on this deck because you dont have a 100 people ripping your work apart for even the slightest imperfection.

thats not 12x16

[@TheTrexCo]

Hello. We appreciate your reach out with your interest in Trex. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the deck dimensions. I'm curious to understand more about your perspective. Is there a specific aspect or detail that leads you to believe it might not be a 12x16 deck? I appreciate your insights and want to ensure we're on the same page. Kindly, Trex Customer Care

Two six foot railing sections on the side = 12' , two six foot railing sections plus a 4' wide stairway = 16'. I think they are right!
