Is anyone trying to make homes out of plastic lumber? Like the material from the Trex decks and Polywood tables. My understand is that those are 100% recycled materials, solid, and a decent alternative to wood.
- throwawayboise 5y agoA friend has a deck made of Trex (or some similar brand) and it's disintegrating. Needs to be completely rebuilt. The stuff doesn't hold up outdoors. Might be OK for structural framing that is kept dry under a roof and inside walls, if it compares to similar sized wood lumber in terms of strength in both shear and compression.
