Anybody here ever use duradek for an exterior screen porch or deck? Seems like a good product but is rather expensive. Don’t know if it’s because it has to be done by an authorized installer and is tricky or the installer realizes that there aren’t many options out there and charges high rates. Anyone have any experience with it?

Use "advanced search" in the top left corner. It's been discussed to death.

Was looking for some pricing numbers. Aside from the $12/sq. ft in Oregon, there's not much info there

I had my little clothesline deck done in 97. Was 6 bucks a square foot then and a little extra for trim etc. It has weathered well and I am impressed because we get four distinct seasons here including snow from Dec to April. The only draw back is that it only comes in 6 foot widths, that is a pain if your deck is wider than 6 feet.
I used the $10 linear foot stuff from home depot in my old motorhome and it is probably just as tough. I did a clients 44 foot long deck with it to. Compare 6 bucks a square foot to 10 linear foot (6 feet wide) and you can save cash.
HAve a good day
