5/4x6x12 PT1 is 12.78
12' Trex Basic Clamshell (gray) is 28.69
5/4x6x12 Alaskan Yellow Cedar is 32.95
Other colors of Trex exist, but they change the pricing.
Anything over $100 delivers for free.

I’m putting a patio on the other side of the house. The deck works well with a front door that currently never gets used; the deck will tie together the front door, lawn and a brick patio off a different door. I’m going with a floating deck for simplicity. I have a PT deck on the island as well as a cedar one (and cedar on the dock). All have held up well but require more and more annual maintenance to keep them looking good. I’m looking to build something I can use without the annual maintenance.
I started with Lumberock based on Think mentioning it (who got feedback from ishoot) and my own research. The samples look great. I was a bit surprised by the current cost.
Headed to the lumberyard tomorrow to explore options.
