Living in a very rural area, I have limited choices in suppliers. Lowes, HD and local yard.
Brands available are Trex at HD, Choice Deck at Lowes, and Timber Tech at the local supplier.
I intend to use Kreg's decking screw jig. I believe it will work with all three.

Any experience with either brand? Which do you recommend?
Thanks, folks.

I have used Timber deck and choice decking. Also Fiberon that was nice to use. You may want to check out the concealed fasteners as it makes a real nice clean look. If the deck does not have the slot you can use a biscuit cutter to cut the slot in. I did this on a couple of jobs and the client was so happy that they gave me a bonus.

Thanks Jerome. What did you think of the difference between Timber Tech and Choice Deck....considering the price difference?

We did our decks with Veranda from Home Depot. It has been very good so far. The front deck is about 4 years old and the rear deck is one year this summer.
