Post a CommentNot easy to maintain, thats why it's called low maintenance instead of maintenance free like it used to be. there is no substitute for real wood. Composite costs about 3 times as much as pressure treated and the look may be worth it for some, but cedar is definately the way to go. It looks, feels and smells great. and is also cheaper than the composite.
