Anyone Recognize This Decking Material?
This is a small piece of decking removed from an existing deck we're adding on to. The actual dimensions are 1.25 x 5.5. The texture looks and feels like it was "combed".
Any ideas/guesses are appreciated.

That is one butt ugly piece of composite. HD around here has something similar, but not with that notch thing on the bottom. What the hell is that anyway?

Re: Anyone Recognize This Decking Material?
The piece in the pics was ripped down to about 2.5". A full width is 5.5. ChoiceDek has the scalloped bottom but is only 1.175 thick and has a different texture.
I went through 26 composit decking websites today with - No Joy. Don't give up.

Re: Anyone Recognize This Decking Material?
I think AFrame nailed it, I knew I had seen it before & just couldn't place it - older version when they offered a non slip or wood look version (I think Trex tried something similar - non slip one side, wood look the other)
Framerman - you'll love there explanation for the ridges - first is so that the board lays flat, second is for increased air flow to prevent damage to the framing --- personally it looks like a good area for all the bugs to hang out |

Re: Anyone Recognize This Decking Material?
If it is choicedek, could be either swollen or just thicker/different grooves
from earlier productions. |

Re: Anyone Recognize This Decking Material?
I just sent the pics over to Choicedek customer service. Hoping to get a response this decade.
