The smoky aromas of a barbecue grill. The sounds of nature on a starry night. And the togetherness of family and close friends. These are just a few of the allures of outdoor living—and why so many people today are taking full advantage of everything it has to offer.

The emergence of high-performance composite deck and dock products, which offer lower maintenance and greater durability than real wood, is another key driver of the outdoor living phenomenon. If you’re looking to replace your current outdoor living space, or add a new one, choosing materials such as EverGrain® and Elements® composite decking and dock products will help enhance your outdoor living experience.

EverGrain adds deep deck satisfaction.
It’s much easier to focus on the grill, or the conversation with family and friends, when you don’t have to constantly worry about the condition of your deck. EverGrain composite decking provides an attractive low maintenance option to help put your mind at ease. The durable product comes with a 25-year limited warranty against rotting, splintering, splitting and termite damage. It also requires no painting or staining.

EverGrain is also the only composite product made by a proprietary compression molding process, so it creates incredibly true-to-life deep grain beauty. This is particularly appealing when you consider that owning a deck with more natural beauty is a great way to connect with the outdoors. EverGrain is also available in seven beautiful colors and with several railing options to perfectly complement your home.

It isn’t just for the backyard.
Homeowners aren’t the only ones who are discovering the enhanced beauty and performance of composite products such as EverGrain decking. You’ll find the deep grain beauty of EverGrain in such settings as the mountains, where heavy snowfall often tests its durability.

Deck builder Justin Lambrecht of Oasis Deck and Shade, Inc. lives in the harsh Colorado climate, and he knows firsthand how important durable products are. That’s why Lambrecht recommends EverGrain to his customers. “We promote EverGrain because we know it performs well in our environment, which means we have very few callbacks,” he says.

Elements DockBoard is made for dock enjoyment.
If low maintenance is important to deck owners, it’s absolutely critical to dock owners. Few things accelerate the deterioration of wood quicker than water—a fact that owners of real wood docks know all too well. Now there’s a better option. Elements DockBoard offers enhanced performance in a product that is specifically formulated for marine environments.

The outstanding durability of Elements DockBoard entices you to kick off your shoes, grab a fishing pole and sit by the lake or ocean for the afternoon. It’s made with a special composite formulation that provides slip resistance, eliminates splinters and requires no staining or painting. It also features an attractive Pier Grey color and a beautiful wood grain look.
