Trex Decking

Trex decking is very easy to cut and machine, but it is not very resistant to bending. In a deck it requires
12” on center joists, in a planter, anything over 12” will tend to bend or give slightly unless braced in some
way. It is basically plastic and sun and/or heat will soften it to a certain extent, that is why you can see
some nice weird design on decks using this material. Keeping these limitations in mind, have fun with this
project.

Yes, Gus is right. I sell this stuff at work and we stored them on 2×4 shelves spaced about 4’ apart and the boards sagged in the center of the 2×4s. They bend real easy but are very easy to cut.
