You're right, I will NEVER buy PT **** again. Looks like crap in 5 years.

See what I installed in image below.

No splinters, no warping, no staining. Heck I don't even power wash it.

It is slick when wet and can get hot though.

My Deck is about 5 years old now and looks exactly the same as when I put in.

This is not composite crap or hybrid, it's some sort of PVC all the way through.

It's screwed down and you tap in plugs. All the white you see is covered PT.

Pressure treated does have it's place. It needs to stay moist. Like a sill plate.
If it's exposed to sun and dries out, it's useless.
