I did a deck about 15 years ago with Massaranduba. Itâ??s close to the Ipe 
range but it held up great. Iâ??m getting ready to add another 10x20 & will use 
the same. 

Iâ??ve also used a plastic compound decking (Choicedeck) that works well but it 
will be hot if not under cover & needs extra support. 

Peace,
Pat

I'm looking to expand/replace the 8 x 14 deck I have now into a 16x24. It's 
5/4 PT wood. What else do people like? This is a medium-budget project i.e. I 
want something better than 1980s era PT pine or sagging plastic lumber but Ipe 
and the like are probably out of range. I put a Trex railing in my house and I 
liked the quality but 20 years ago Trex would burn your feet off and sagged. 

What's available today that has a good quality per dollar ratio?

thanks,
jim
