Has anyone used Eon or Veranda composite decking? Will they sag like Trex?
I know from other postings that 5/4″ Trex will sag in heat at 16″ OC (maximum recommended spacing), so I’m concerned about the joist spacing claims of other composite materials.
Thanks,

I've used Eon on a big porch project - I went with 12" OC, IIRC, just to be safe; it's still beautiful after three years
Thanks for the quick response.Pardon my ignorance, but what is IIRC?BruceT

We installed Veranda on two jobs and TREX on many in MN and have not had any sag problems. We have installed joists at 16" OC for perpendicaulr deck boards. We use 12" OC for any angled deck boards and at stairs.
A note on Veranda: It can be hard/brittle and you end up predrilling at edges and other locations depending screw type. We have seen it crack at ends.
