Prize is tempting but Wow, i did a quick search for trex decking and found nothing but complaints and class action lawsuits against trex for decking fading after 2 weeks, and crumbling after 1-2 years

I especially like these two posts
"My husband and I are not sure what to do - are contacting lawyers. I do not know what the hell the Trex inspector looked at (clearly he did not INSPECT our deck) because the settlement was about $300 plus $4 for screws (THANK YOU TREX!). what are people doing ? My deck looks terrible, a number of boards COMPLETELY SHREDDED and look like the inside of Butterfinger, the rest discolored with patches of crumbling/wearing away...

I would really like to know what you find with a lawyer as I am not sure I want to participate in the Class Action. 18 cents per lineal foot...they have to be kidding. I paid $20.00 per square foot for labor and materials. I checked back with Trex and that is what they said. 18 cents. Who agreed to this settlement?"

Good catch. Sounds like it's not worth paying the taxes on the prize then.

Admittedly those reports are from 2 years ago, im sure after the class action lawsuit they would have made efforts to fix the problem
