Is the deck protector recommended and/or useful for a Trex composite deck system? Would you recommend this product for use on a composite deck?

Our deck protectors are designed as protection from a stray ember or ash from a wood burning fireplace. The fire resistant pad is not fireproof. It will protect your deck area from embers or a burning log until it can be placed back in the fire. It will not protect your deck from direct heat or intense direct fire. I hope this helps answer your question. Thank you. The Blue Rooster Co.

That's tricky. These work best for smooth floors. I use them on hardwood and they are great. If your composite does not have a deep wood grain then they just might. At this price I would give it a try. My concern would be the longevity of the adhesive in an outdoor situation, ( plus how rough the decking might be ). Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Right now I can't answer this, but I do intend to write a review and keep it updated. A friend helped screen in our front deck a couple of weeks ago, and a big part of the reason we did it was so that we could let the cats onto the deck for some fresh air. Oddly enough, though, they haven't attempted to climb it yet and they were absolute demons about wrecking the screen in the patio door. This stuff is incredibly strong and I don't really have a problem with the visibility either; it seems fine to me.

Friends:* It does not come with a fabric cover......* Btw, it is too light to stay in place in strong winds even thought it comes with a weight to hold it down. After the first time it blew off our outdoor deck I bolted it to the wooden outdoor deck with two landscape screws...... I opened the front door and used a piece of 6" x 1' scrap lumber to distribute the force. The two landscape screws go through the scrap lumber then through the bottom of the grill then into our wooden deck.We are using the grill outdoors at our Ranch in the remote Sangre de Cristo mountain range of Colorado with seasonal Chinook winds.You can Google my name to learn more.....Arthur von Boennighausen Friends:* It does not come with a fabric cover......* Btw, it is too light to stay in place in strong winds even thought it comes with a weight to hold it down.

We are using it on our uutside deck it will remain there throughout the year. We will cover it when the weather get cold and nasty. It may be a good idea to put a protective coat on it

I have not. It was used on composite decking. The question would be if the screws would work well with the cypress wood and if the wood would split with the side pressure. The screws and jig could work if the drilling and pressure would not split the cypress and the expansion and contraction of the wood would not cause cracking over time. Best bet would be to contact Kreg to see if they have any information on using it with cypress. The wood should be excellent (rot resistant), but not sure if it would split.

I did not because I use it on a covered deck;however, I would suggest covering it if you use it out in the open. it is a fabulous grill, so you will want to protect it. I would guess that a tradition inexpensive cover will work. You will want to use the ties to tie it around the legs, or the wind will whisk it away, whether it was made for that grill or not.

I used this last year on my deck without a problem - no scratches. It worked fine for smaller storms but not so much after last year's blizzard.

Yes, I have a couple of weeks ago. It cleans very nicely and well worth the money. My deck is 15 x 18, is 23 years old and well worn but very usable. I'm very glad I bought it. It saved me a lot of time. Good luck!

Jean, I would say probably not. The idea is to spread the stuff thickly on to horizontal decking. You might be able to thin it a bit and brush it on, but it would seem to me not as effective. Why don't you visit their website as they have lots of good information. BTW our decks still look great and it is holding up well. - John

I stand corrected, I found collated deck screws however I've never tried this with decking. I assume you refer to a pressure treated type deck. IPA would not work well gun is no strong enough without pre drilling same with compost decking.

I have no idea about a deck. I am pretty sure carpet would not be a good choice. I would recommend concrete or ceramic tiles to protect deck or carpet. Watch out for embers on carpet.

My deck is made out of recycled plastic, I think trex is the brand name. Anyhow it works just fine. The only surprise is that you get a great camp fire but you eat up a lot of propane fast. I luv mine but only use it on special occastions

I haven't but it does have an overlay for that software that is included. So I imagine it would work out fine. The deck is totally solid.

Trex decking is exactly what I purchased it for and have used it. It works wonderfully! No discoloration.

That is what I primarily use it for. I have a rather large 2-tiered deck. Although it didn't clear it right down to the wood, it did clear enough off for me to be able to walk around. Since it cleans all but about a 1/4 of an inch of snow off the deck, I would say no to it damaging the wood.

Per manufacturer instructions, I do not put anything in the tank except water - may cause corrosion. I use a squirt bottle (Target has good quality Rubbermaid ones in the cleaning supply aisle) and pre-treat the surface, then use the steamer as normal. On my Azek deck (same material as Trex) I have used Simple Green cleaner with good results. If you want to use bleach for mildew, use a 3% bleach/97% water solution. Don't use the bleach straight -may affect the color of the decking. Hope this helps.
