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. :rolleyes: 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.
That would be a real test in patience..Not even 5 years living with Monks could prepare me to stay calm for that :laughing:
 
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.

Can't router cap layer decking, well I guess technically you can but it would be really dumb.
 
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.

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.

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.


:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: Open Eyes. OMG Rob uses cap product and NEVER has fade or anything else happen !!! NEVER a call back. It's like a wave on the ocean. Steel and Cap ,makes for a snap, never any crap takes the money home in a strap.

I've used Moistureshield decking on few projects, but they are pricing themselves out of business here. They want so much more that no lumberyard around here will stock it. Heard the same story from almost every yard here.

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.
 
Rob is bad, He never sad, Best deck builder the world ever had.

Lives in the Sky, where the heat is close, Everybody says he get the most... of all of Us, even on the Coast.

He be a sight to see when Hes picking on me, He calls it piss but its really not, it's the fumes from all that plastic snot that messes with his mind, makes Him unkind, He never backs down ,even with the Killer,but the truth be know they come from the same quiver . Both sharp pricks but we love em anyway cause without em the cap stock would go away.

Jon, just because someone challenges you and tries to get you to see another product doesn't make them a prick.

I mentioned that you should get some samples of cap layer for yourself and put them through your own testing, you could at least do that. I don't understand why you won't. You don't still drive screws with a screw driver or drive all nails with a hammer so obviously you understand that sometimes a better product comes along. Just get some samples (or pm me your address and I'll ship you some) for your own testing.

I'll back up my talk with proof. This is fiberon horizon from mid 2008, there is no color loss (this was before the multi colored boards) sorry for the paint spilled on it. This was taken today so it's been exposed to the elements for 5.5 years and still looks the same as new.

 
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 !

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.

Fiberon guard rail? Looks very nice with the top matching the deck, posts matching the boarder. Well done sir.
Thank you Totes, it's all Trex railing with Trex Transcends capped decking.
