That would be a real test in patience..Not even 5 years living with Monks could prepare me to stay calm for that :laughing:Don't be surprised if they think that every time you come out the warranty starts over from that point. Some people like to perpetuate a warranty. I had a guy call me after four years and said his patio cover had been leaking. I asked him when did it start leaking he said the first rain.He thought I should fix all the wood rot that this caused. I explained to him that there would of been no wood rot if you would of called me four years ago.
So I ended up replacing everything. Then he seemed to think his warranty began again. At this point I realized he's wanting a new cover every four years. So I gave him a lawyer written letter that explained to him I fixed his cover as a good will gesture and not a warranty claim. It also explained that the warranty doesn't perpetuate because of the fix either.
Can't router cap layer decking, well I guess technically you can but it would be really dumb.I got it now.
I use nails under the decking. I am a Moisture Shield kinda Guy when I put down manmade. Same endgrain trim with a router detail just like wood. This makes for a little different color at first but they fade together quickly exposed to the Sun.

No Jon the cap is needed, even your beloved moisturesheild breaks down and falls apart in this environment. However capped boards don't. Jon QUALITY capped boards have been on the market for years with virtually no downsides or complaints, it's time to open your eyes.No need for the capped product.
Moisture Shield has overcome even the alleged need.
Only down side to MS is availability. They pitch a good game, have a quality product but have a hard time getting it in the warehouse.

Well your wrong Jon... elevation plays a large role in UV rays but I've been over this with you before... burying your head in the sand and ignoring facts don't change the facts.Moisture Shield is not fading on Me.
I don't see how any weather could be any worst than over here. But what the Hay everyone uses what they want anyhoo.

Stick around it might still turn into a pissing matchFirst thread in a long time I read the whole thing and feel like I learned something. Thanks deck ninjas!....
You and me both. I don't even do decks but I know a few tricks now!ohiohomedoctor said:First thread in a long time I read the whole thing and feel like I learned something. Thanks deck ninjas!....
I will next time I'm where this is stored. I don't keep outdated colors in my truck but I have some in storage, rest assured jonmon there is no color loss.Still looks the same as What ? New ?
Put a new one beside it.
Or not.
In fact I don't care what it looks like. Nor do I care if you tell me Moisture Shield breaks down because I know it doesn't not in the Sun or the Dirt or the Water if you dunk it down and leave it there.
Just don't like Rap. Fine !
