We are resurfacing our deck, and DH really strongly wants to use Trex or a similar composite. I go barefoot nearly 100% of the time in spring, summer, fall. (As long as it's over 40'F, I'm barefoot.) Wood can get pretty hot in the sun, but Trex gets way hotter!
On the hottest days, I spray down my pathway with the hose to cool it down. I think I'd be doing that every day in summer if we used Trex.
I wondered if there were some newer materials out there with less heat retention.
I know I could use an outdoor rug, but between lots of plants and a golden retriever (shedding!), it would probably look pretty bad most of the time. ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!!
